The Secretary of Human Rights, Horacio Pietragalla, spoke highly of the legacy of the "commander", whose movement has governed Venezuela since 1998.


Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner

remained silent

in the media and social networks on the tenth anniversary of the death of Hugo Chávez, this Sunday the 5th.

It drew attention because even the Vice President and her also deceased husband, former President Néstor Kirchner, maintained a friendly relationship, and an economic alliance, as well as State businesses parallel to institutional channels, with the leader and founder of what is known as Chavismo and which became the Caribbean autocracy without democracy,

presided over by Nicolás Maduro, uninterruptedly since his death in 2013.

Who did passionately do so was the Argentine Secretary of Human Rights,

Horacio Pietragalla

, an ultra-Kirchner militant who was recently at the Human Rights Council making a furious criticism of local justice, the Supreme Court and, on that train, victimized the vice president of what she called "lawfare" for her legal cases. 

Through

his Twitter account,

the national official wrote that Sunday marked "10 years since the passage to immortality of Commander Hugo Chavez Frías."

And he assured that "his legacy" was "more alive than ever" and that "until the last day we will fight for that great homeland that we dream of."

He finished off his words with a #ChavezVive. 

This Monday, he

was repudiated by several members of the Venezuelan exile community in Argentina

, who reminded him of the human rights violations committed under the Chavista regime, which have led the International Criminal Court to open an investigation for crimes against humanity, something unprecedented. on our continent.

The current human rights activist and member of the Argentine Forum for Democracy in the Region (FADER),

Elisa Trotta Gamus

, responded to Pietragalla that the legacy of Hugo Chávez that the national official was talking about were "extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances, torture, political prisoners, repression, attacks on the press, hunger, and

the largest crisis of migrants and refugees in the history of the region

"

And he remarked:

"That you are the secretary of Human Rights of Argentina is a shame."

The Venezuelan diaspora generated by the consequences of Chavismo is estimated at

seven million Venezuelans who emigrated from their country.


Another who crossed Pietragalla was the Venezuelan deputy Olivia Lozano, who affirmed that "the ideological affiliation with Chávez, however genuine it may be, cannot ignore the dismantling of democracy and the rule of law that he carried out, which is today the support of the Maduro's bloody regime, violator of human rights, with whom @alferdez maintains shameful relations".

The vice president of the Venezuelan opposition party Primero Justicia in Argentina, Manuel García, also had a reply to Pietragalla, whom he questioned: "For which homeland do you intend to fight? For the homeland of MISERY and HUNGER of Chávez and Maduro? Or for the homeland of freedom and democracy and where all the institutions work and are available to the people?

Human rights defender Rigoberto Lobo, director of the Venezuelan NGO Promedeum, also wrote to Pietragalla via Twitter, reminding him that Chávez ordered the imprisonment of Judge María Lourdes Afiuni, who was tortured and sexually raped in prison, just for refusing to obey an order from the socialist leader.

In addition to Pietragalla, the other referent who remembered Hugo Chávez 10 years after his death was the Argentine ambassador in Caracas, Oscar Laborde, who on Twitter "posted" the painting with Néstor Kirchner and Hugo Chávez that he is going to give to the government Venezuelan and that has a phrase from the writer Eduardo Galeano.

Laborde was

with 35 other foreign ambassadors accredited in Caracas in the act for the ten years of the death of the leader who led on Sunday Nicolás Maduro

, and in which allied dictators such as Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua participated.

Also there was Raúl Castro, the 91-year-old former president of Cuba, Ralph Gonsalves, prime minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and who was nicknamed "Mini Castro."

He is the current president of CELAC.

Former presidents Rafael Correa and Evo Morales were present

Another leader who remembered Chavez was Juan Grabois.

"I don't care what the corporation of published opinion (sic) says or that they have canceled even those who praised you when the wind blew the other way. Commander, our tribute is with you forever," he said in a clear message to the inmates Today they are shaking Chavismo and the Argentine inmate itself.

For his part, Andrés Cuervo Larroque, Buenos Aires minister and general secretary of La Cámpora, who posted only one photo of "Commander Chávez" with his arm raised on a stage and in front of a crowd.
