Leaders such as Miguel Pichetto, Gerardo Morales, Javier Milei and Maximiliano Ferraro questioned their inaction in the face of the imminent arrival of the president of Venezuela to participate in the Celac summit.


The arrival of Nicolás Maduro to the country next Tuesday, within the framework of the Celac summit, prompted numerous questions from opposition leaders, as well as from abroad, but curiously, a striking silence from local Human Rights organizations.

On Sunday, the decision of Patricia Bullrich to appeal to the DEA to arrest the president of Venezuela upon entering the country was made public, but in the last few hours there has also been direct criticism of the inaction of human rights organizations in the face of the arrival of the dictator.

Miguel Ángel Pichetto

was one of those who spoke about the role of the organizations, in dialogue with Lado P, on Radio Rivadavia.

"It doesn't surprise me at all, they are part of the problem and the lack of debate. They have become a factious sector of human rights claims. What matters is always looking back, towards the '70s, without projecting the future of Argentina, with Human Rights as a whole".

opined the general auditor and referent of Together for Change.

Consulted by

Clarín

, the head of the Civic Coalition,

Maximiliano Ferraro

, said: "It is a silence that hurts and worries. Human rights violations in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua are serious. It is a setback in our history in terms of human rights " , he maintained, adding to the list invited by the Government to the Celac summit leaders of dictatorial governments, such as Miguel Díaz Canel in Cuba and Daniel Ortega, from Nicaragua.

The president of the UCR,

Gerardo Morales,

when asked by

Clarín

, expressed his questioning of the "reprehensible attitude of the politicized human rights organizations and distanced from their true role as guarantors of human rights."

The governor of Jujuy added: "It is another of the cultural setbacks imposed by the Kirchnerist story in the last two decades."

Javier Milei

, of Libertad Avanza, also spoke with this outlet

, who said that Argentina "does not have to make deals with communists, with any, neither with Venezuela nor with Cuba nor with Nicaragua, nor with China."

And he went further: "To those who come to tell me that I have no one to export with, I don't give a damn, I will do it with another."

Milei also recalled that the Sao Paulo Forum, of which Lula and Hugo Chávez were part, sought to establish the Soviet Union in Latin America."

In recent days there have been few expressions from human rights leaders before the visit of these leaders to the country.

One of them was that of

the Argentine Forum for democracy in the region

, which titled "Dictators never again" a spot that was broadcast on social networks.

"For a country like Argentina, which does not forget the horrors of its own dictatorship, these visits are an offense. For thousands of migrants, expelled by these same dictators, these visits are an insult and a provocation," they maintain in the short.

There, they also criticize the Cuban regime for having political prisoners "since Fidel Castro came to power in 1959", the "repressive and bloody situation, responsible for more than 300 murders in the 2018 protests" in Nicaragua and the violation of human rights in Venezuela, denounced by international organizations in the Court of The Hague.

The members of Fader asked President Alberto Fernández to suspend the invitations to Maduro, Díaz-Canel and Ortega.

"They are not welcome here. Stop this! Understand that in Argentina, "never again" means... never again!", they conclude.

The members of FADER who signed the letter were national leaders, plus journalists and leaders from different sectors such as Waldo Wolff, Elisa Trotta, Karina Banfi, Daniel Sabsay, Santiago Kovadloff, Graciela Fernández Meijide, Ricardo López Murphy, Jorge Faurie, Alfredo Leuco, Maximiliano Ferraro, Jorge Ferronato, Eduardo Feinmann, Alfredo Cornejo, Diego Guelar, Álvaro De Lamadrid, Paula Bertol, Brian Schapira, Héctor Schamis, Sabrina Ajmechet and Marcelo Birmajer.

In addition, last Friday

, representatives of Together for Change in the Chamber of Deputies wrote a statement

in which they asked to prevent Nicolás Maduro from entering the country and declare him "persona non grata."
