After the scandal over the photos of the supposed birthday celebration of Fabiola Yáñez on July 14, 2020 at Quinta de Olivos, while
the strict quarantine
- known as Preventive and Compulsory Social Isolation (ASPO) - was in force - without any preventive measure by the coronavirus, the opposition is studying whether Alberto Fernández is "
liable to impeachment
" for violating the restriction that he himself had set for the entire country.
The issue, which, according to opposition critics,
exposes a double standard
of the President regarding the handling of the pandemic, urged Juntos por el Cambio to take action to determine if Fernández can have
the same penalty that would fit those who violate the DNU
who imposed and, apparently, did not respect.
The president of the interblock of national deputies of JxC, Mario Negri, expressed his disapproval of the scandal and said that the Government "has given
the Argentines moral slaps by
making use of
unacceptable privileges
in the midst of the pandemic and the stricter quarantine than the own Executive dictated ".
"
With a team of jurists,
I am studying whether the Head of State has incurred in some of the
grounds for impeachment
, an institute that is provided for by our Constitution in Article 53," the deputy reported via Twitter.

Negri assured that the norms established by the president "were applicable to all
citizens, without exceptions
."
"
Celebrations
with
family
and friends
were
expressly
prohibited
to prevent community transmission of the Covid-19 virus," he said.
And he continued: "Today we find the truthful information that the President participated with a large group of people on the
birthday of his partner
, Fabiola Yáñez, on July 14, 2020 at the official residence of Olivos."
"By then, this type of celebration was
expressly prohibited
. Beyond the fact that we are sure that
the ruling party will prevent
an eventual process from advancing in the Chamber of Deputies, since a two-thirds majority is required, we believe that it would be healthy for the Congress will
debate with society
whether the highest authority in the country duly fulfilled its functions, "he continued in a statement.
"In any republican democracy, these facts are the subject of
serious debate in Congress
. The political power cannot claim privileges of this type while the entire Nation suffered with fear and pain an unusual health crisis," he concluded.
More questions are added about the photo
The president of PRO and opposition leader, Patricia Bullrich, also tweeted about it.
As is his custom, he wrote directly for Alberto Fernández.
Mr. President of the Argentine Nation Alberto Fernández: you must explain to the Argentine people why you violated the norms that you yourself issued.
If you have no explanation, you must submit to the same criminal consequences as imposed in the DNU.

"Mr. President of the Argentine Nation Alberto Fernández: you must
explain to the Argentine people why you violated the norms
that you yourself dictated. If you do not have any explanation, you must submit to the same penal consequences that you imposed on the DNU," he shot.
Deputy Waldo Wolff, from the same opposition space, used
a personal example
to ask Fernández to submit to an investigation.
"I hope the government fixes an urgent position x #LaFoto that would denote a meeting violating its own decrees while the citizens were locked up. In the face of silence that it grants if they do not deny urgent tomorrow
I will ask the president #JudgmentPolitical
," he wrote on the networks.
I hope the government fixes an urgent position x #LaFoto that would denote a meeting violating its own decrees while the citizens were locked up.
Faced with silence that grants if they do not deny urgent tomorrow I will ask the president #JuicioPolitico.

And he concluded: "Having denounced myself by a timeless and impersonal tweet putting
myself
at the disposal of Congress and the Justice as every official should do, I hope that
those who were outraged, will accompany me with the same zeal
in the request for #JudgmentPolitical to the President."
Cordovan deputy
Brenda Austin
remembered several painful issues of the pandemic: "
Solange's father could not fire her
, Blas was killed for going out with friends, schools were closed."
And he finished: "While
that painful Argentina was happening, the President and his friends had a great time
. For you the rules, for them the privileges. May the law apply to everyone!"
Solange's father couldn't fire her, Blas was killed for going out with friends, schools closed.
While that painful Argentina was happening, the President and his friends had a great time.
For you the rules, for them the privileges.
Let the law apply to everyone!

The radical deputy
Luis Petri
also repudiated the attitude of the president.
"When they were forbidden on birthdays, they gave you jail if you were on the street, they forced you to close businesses and schools and they wouldn't let you fire your loved ones, while the one who forced you to do so
was blowing candles, inflating balloons and doing a little train
! ", She complained.

Another who expressed his opinion was his teammate,
Facundo Suarez Lastra
, who assured that
immorality "became naturalized
.
"
"
Next to López's handbags
, the ill-gotten millions of the Kirchner family, the bribery notebooks, this photo would only add
one more shame
. The elections are among other things, to punish this. # LaFoto," he tweeted.
"It is not necessary to add much.
The dimension of the scandal speaks for itself
. It was not possible to fire family members, get together, work, send the children to school. But they partied, without care, without shame. Kirchnerism is completely disconnected of society ", said
Claudia Najul
from JxC.
Similar events, different realities.
The loss of the value of the presidential word is immeasurable.
How the damage they do to the country.
I refuse to believe that it is the #Government that #Argentina deserves.

The National deputy for Formosa,
Ricardo Buryaile
tweeted two captures of two news items: that of the
resignation of the English prime minister
for breaking the quarantine and that of the First Lady's birthday.
"Similar events, different realities. The loss of the value of the presidential word is immeasurable. Like
the damage they do to the country
. I refuse to believe that it is the #Government that #Argentina deserves," he declared when accompanying the photos.
