In the previous to the Tedeum for May 25 in the Metropolitan Cathedral, Alberto Fernández referred to the decision of Kirchnerism not to extend an invitation to participate in the act of homage to Néstor Kirchner for the 20 years of his assumption that Cristina will lead this afternoon in Plaza de Mayo.
In Casa Rosada, in a brief contact with accredited journalists and after the traditional chocolate with his officials, the president avoided confrontation with the K and dedramatized not having been included in the celebrations. As Clarín anticipated on Monday, it was due to the fact that on Sunday, the head of state referred to the corruption of Lázaro Báez and to point out a "very serious ethical imprudence" on the part of the vice president by "having signed agreements" with "someone they knew before, turned into a businessman linked to public works."
This Thursday Fernández said that it is "a very special May 25" for him, because it is the "last of this mandate" and also "because 20 years ago we entered with Nestor to this Government House."
"I can't help but remember, frankly. And I remember every detail and I'm also moved by that moment and I'm moved by the memory. With which I believe that for all Argentines today is a day that should call us to unity, to encounter, to reflection, to understand that we have problems to overcome, problems that multiply as in the case of the drought that makes everything so difficult for the economy of the country, but that we have to be able to be together. to move forward and achieve the goals we want," he said.
Then he sent a message to the heart of the official intern: "And also for those of us who are Peronists, we must all be in the square remembering Nestor, because Nestor unites us. I'm not going to be there, but Nestor unites us."
That opened the way for him to be consulted about his absence.
It is extremely striking that you have not been invited or are not in the square this afternoon.
-I'm not going to be in Buenos Aires because I'm leaving, I have my family in Chapadmalal, so I'm leaving.
"But aren't you upset, Alberto?" Do you feel left out in any way?
-No, not at all.
- He's not upset.
"No, not at all, not at all. Please, let's not look for a title for us to fight. Today we have to be more together than ever. Thank you all.
