by a government that languishes in its mediocrity

of the history of democracy in our country".

"We forcefully reject his visit. We cannot naturalize or allow

the President to embrace dictators.

His presence on Argentine soil is an unfair and painful provocation for Venezuelans, Cubans and Nicaraguans," Rodríguez Larreta wrote on Twitter.

For their part, legislators from Together for Change in the City presented a project to declare

the two leaders and the Nicaraguan Daniel Ortega persona non grata.

The three will arrive as part of the Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), currently chaired by Alberto Fernández.


Not only the political arc was expressed against.

A group of Venezuelans residing in Argentina also took advantage of the confirmation that Maduro will be in Buenos Aires for the CELAC summit to file a complaint for violation of human rights and request his investigative statement.

Many of them are

exiled victims, who fled the country after being tortured

.

"Shame and hope", the full text that Macri published on his Facebook

In these days, Argentina will receive the dictators Nicolás Maduro, from Venezuela, and Miguel Díaz-Canel, from Cuba.

The vast majority of Argentines feel ashamed that our country is associated with others where there is persecution, torture, drug terrorism, political prisoners and fraudulent elections that mock democracy.

All Argentines have the obligation to remember that Venezuela suffered the largest exodus in the history of Latin America, because that is how the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans living in our country remember it every day, who had to abandon their families, friends , colleagues, neighbors and compatriots.

So, to make it very clear: the welcome to these dictators is not organized by us Argentines, but by a government that languishes in its mediocrity,

We Argentines have a very clear way of living together that we want for the future, which includes reintegrating with the world, being active members of the G20, finally joining the OECD and signing free trade agreements, always with freedom as a companion.

Today, unfortunately, we do not have that type of government.

On the contrary, we have an Executive Branch that abused its power during the 2020 and 2021 quarantines and is now trying to alter the functioning of the Republic by attacking the Supreme Court, while shamelessly defending authoritarian governments in international forums.

But there is good news.

Before the end of the year this government will end.

The polls will decide to have a government that will respect the law and the institutions of democracy, that will protect freedoms, that will banish mafia aggression as a methodology, that will not put pressure on the opposition, the press or the judges.

We will never welcome dictators again.

We are already in that final chapter of this horrible era.

Soon a long time of economic progress and freedom will begin.

Our country will open up, release creative forces, and work together with others for the mutual well-being of our peoples.

We will fight together.

We will build a spectacular future.
