President Alberto Fernández published a message through social networks to commemorate the twenty years of the arrival of Néstor Kirchner to power. "Nestor did not unite, Nestor unites us," is the final message of the video.
"Thanks to him, from the cold winds of the south, Argentina as a whole recovered the warmth of the embrace and the collective struggle. He united us and summoned us, with enormous courage, to believe in the transformation of the homeland to face the greatest adversities. And win," the president posted.
In the video he published, Fernández added a fragment of his book "Politically Incorrect", where he tells an anecdote with the former president at the Government House.
"Think of May 25, 1973," I said. In that year, while Cámpora became president, Menem was already governor of La Rioja, Duhalde was mayor of Lomas de Zamora, Alfonsin disputed Balbín's presidential candidacy for the UCR, and De la Rua was a senator for the porteños. Of all, actors of Argentine politics of the last three decades, the only one who was that May 25, 1973 in the Plaza de Mayo with the people was you. And today you are the one on the balcony of the Casa Rosada. That is the change," writes the head of state in the text about Kirchner.
The anecdote is completed with a phrase from the late former president: "'Maybe it's how you say,' he granted me losing his gaze beyond the windows," the paragraph of the book ends.
The video then compiles footage of the 2001 crisis, with Kirchner taking office and Fernández himself sworn in as her chief of staff. Then there is a review of the different milestones of the first Kirchner government and ends with the phrase: "Néstor unites us".
The call for union through the memory of Kirchner occurs in the midst of a strong internal within the Frente de Todos, due to the electoral strategy for the next presidential elections.
These differences, in addition, were reflected this Thursday in the exclusion of Fernández from the act in the Plaza de Mayo to commemorate the anniversary of the assumption of Néstor Kirchner as president, in the midst of a strong crossing with Kirchnerism.
As Clarín anticipated, after the K fury over the reference he made to Cristina's corruption in an interview in which he spoke of "very serious ethical imprudence" of the vice president, the president decided to retreat well away from the mobilization.
After the Tedeum and the recommendation made by Kirchnerism so that "it does not even occur" to peek through the Plaza, he will fly to Chapadmalal to settle over the weekend at the presidential residence.
This way he will not cross paths with Cristina, who anyway wants to dispense with using the facilities of the Casa Rosada and for that reason he secured the assembly of a bunker adjacent to the stage in which he will give his speech. There you will be able to hold meetings and receive leaders before and after the event.
