President Alberto Fernández maintained this Thursday that Mauricio Macri's decision to step aside in the electoral race "was not a gesture of greatness" and charged against Javier Milei, whom he compared to Adolf Hitler.
The president also spoke, in statements to Radio Perfil, of the strong internal force that the Frente de Todos is going through in the face of the October elections and stressed that his "priority" is not to be a candidate, but to win space.
"My concern is not about being re-elected, but because Argentina does not put back in the government those who condemned us to this accursed debt that we have with the IMF and private creditors," he said.
And he insisted: "My priority is not to be a candidate, my priority is for the space to win."
He also emphasized that time forces the ruling party "to democratize the space and let the people choose."
"There is no need to add aggression to the internal one," emphasized the president when asked about some statements by the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, against the Kirchnerist group La Cámpora.
Asked about Macri's decision to get out of the fight for a new presidential term, he maintained that it was not a "gesture of greatness."
"It is a construction of the media to try to rescue someone who surely history is not going to rescue," he said.
Harsh criticism of Milei
Fernández affirmed that the pre-candidate and libertarian deputy, Javier Milei, is "a threat to democracy."
"Many times the authoritarians use democracy to come to power. What we have to do is open the eyes of the people," he said.
The meeting with Biden
The President maintained that the meeting with his counterpart from the United States, Joe Biden, this Wednesday at the White House, "excessively exceeded the protocol."
"Biden expresses a clearly Keynesian view of the economy and there Biden and Peronism are similar in that Keynesian view of the economy. A view that understands capital as a mechanism of production and social development rather than a mechanism of speculation," he pointed out.
In this sense, he added: "I myself said at some point 'Juan Domingo Biden' because the things he said caught my attention."
