Which Victoria Donda believes is the reason for the criticism for her new positions in the Province: "They want women to withdraw from public life"

2023-02-15T19:29:08.015Z


The new official of Axel Kicillof and former head of INADI questioned the opposition and the media address the issue in a "more wild and stark" way.


Victoria Donda, brand new Undersecretary of Analysis and Strategic Political Monitoring in the province of Buenos Aires, came up against questions over her appointment to that position and to the board of the Bapro Foundation and assured this Wednesday that media and opposition criticism "They want women to withdraw from public life."

In statements to Radio Provincia, the former head of INADI - who was without a political position for just two months, since her resounding departure from the national anti-discrimination body - addressed the repercussions of her appointment and entry into the government of Axel Kicillof and emphasized that being a

woman becomes the target of a "much wilder and more stark" criticism

.

"Anything that Kirchnerism or Peronism does is going to be criticized by the opposition and the hegemonic media," he said as an introduction to his perception.

And he remarked: "Nor is it less than, when an action is led by a woman, who also represents certain interests, the criticism is much more savage and stark," he said.

"It is mounted on lies that have to do with fake news that they have invented about my political career and that of many leaders," he considered.

In that argumentative umbrella, he listed issues such as the hiring of his former domestic worker without registering or the questioning of his son's father, Pablo Marchetti, for controversial statements.

"For example, my maid,

that I defended rapists, that my son's father was a pedophile

," Donda listed.

And from that whimsical list, she came up with an irony and a conclusion.

"

They failed to invent that I was raped by elephants and that I took cocaine

sitting on the bench of deputies. All those things that they were inventing tried to cause damage and discredit, so that I would stop doing politics."

"The objective -he sentenced- is for women to withdraw from public life,

to withdraw

",

In the extensive interview, there was no interest in addressing the details of the role that he will play in the positions he now holds, nor was there any reflection on the reason for the double role acquired in the organizational chart.

Victoria Donda, about her time at INADI: "In many ways it was a disappointment"

Victoria Donda also referred during the interview to her departure from INADI, appointed by President Alberto Fernández, and her landing in the provincial administration of Axel Kicillof.

"When I joined the national government and we decided to take over the responsibility that the President had given us, which was to lead the policies against discrimination from INADI, I accepted with great pride," the topic introduced.

However, his management was not what he imagined.

"

I am not ashamed to say that in many ways it was a disappointment

. I have no problems with Alberto in personal terms, but obviously there are political discussions to settle and they are discussions that exist facing society. If it doesn't seem like we live

in a bubble

", he claimed.

To exemplify what these pending debates are about, Donda said: "If we continue to think

that inflation is a feeling

of the people or that they produce it because they go to buy bread and milk... the truth is that I do

not agree

with that view ".

"I'm worried about how a 25-year-old kid, who has to pedal with a backpack on his back, precarious and earning a pittance, ends up voting for guys like (Javier) Milei or (José Luis) Espert. I'm worried that we can't give

them answers

," he said.

Consequently, he maintained that he does not want to turn a deaf ear.

"I do not want to be part of a leadership that prefers not to listen and see what is happening, but of those who decide to accept the challenge, which requires courage to face government decisions."

Lastly, he explained, these issues are taking place in the context of a strong appearance "of a

reactionary right

in Argentina and in the world."

"A reactionary right wing like Milei, but we can see it in (Jair) Bolsonaro, in (Donald) Trump, begins to draw up international plans to strengthen itself. We need testimonials, leaders with the strength to make the decisions that are what to drink", he reflected before that scenario.
