The president of the Radical Civic Union, Alfredo Cornejo, attributed to Cristina Kirchner

the changes in the national Cabinet

, said that she is a "bad loser" and that he sought to attribute the defeat of the PASO to President Alberto Fernández.

"She is the

marshal of the defeat

along with La Cámpora. Cristina has already shown that she does not believe in the institutional system, she had the audacity not to hand over the attributes of the command in 2015, she is a bad loser, such a bad loser that the defeat has burdened her Alberto, "he said in a dialogue with radio Rivadavia.

The reference is to December 2015 when the then President of the Nation stepped down from the transfer of command ceremony as dictated by the National Constitution, so as not to have to hand over the attributes to Mauricio Macri.

When asked if the changes in the Cabinet were made by the current vice president, the radical leader responded forcefully:

"I have no doubt

."

And he recalled that in Cristina's letter to Alberto, the vice suggested Juan Manzur, who will finally replace Santiago Cafiero as Chief of Staff.

In addition, he left a piece of information that he described as "chilling": "Manzur does not resign and asks for a license, he does so because

in November if it goes wrong he returns to the governorship

and does not give it to Jaldo, that is categorical of the level of

improvisation and The irresponsibility of

the Frente de Todos in the government of the country, "he remarked.

Alberto Fernández embraces the recently appointed Chief of Staff Juan Manzur upon his arrival in La Rioja.

"And he left Wado De Pedro who forced the resignations,

an unusual thing

what Alberto has done, he had been shooting himself in the feet and now the lack of authority has solidified," added the national deputy.

This Sunday, Máximo Kirchner tried to minimize the crisis in the Government and assured that all the changes of officials were made by the President.

"The names and if the changes are enough

, Alberto decides

, as the Cabinet decided from December 10 on," said the head of the Frente de Todos block in the Chamber of Deputies.

However, Cornejo insisted that it

was the vice president

who "guided" all the changes that occurred after the hard defeat in the PASO and the subsequent political crisis in the Casa Rosada.

Although he maintained that it is not an institutional crisis, but rather a "conflict" within the ruling party, which must be resolved by its own protagonists and where the opposition must maintain a responsible position.

"We have nothing to do there and we have behaved intelligently and we are behaving in a balanced way,

safeguarding the republican and institutional system

by not calling for demonstrations and calling for the resignation of the president, as Peronism did in 2001", He expressed recalling the crisis of that year that led to the resignation of Fernando De la Rúa.

Finally, the president of the UCR argued that the head of state

"is not up to the task"

as the main political leader of the country.

"I expected a lot more from him, he is a person to be number two and not to be at the forefront of power," he said.
