by after his “reappearance” this week in the National Congress, where he spent a few minutes on the day that the Political Trial Commission of the Lower House began to deal with the pro-government petition against the Supreme Court, the deputy max kirchner gave a lengthy interview to the website The Rocket to the Moonin which they talked about the conflictive relationship between their mother, Vice President Cristina Kirchner, and President Alberto Fernández, touching on numerous issues of the complex current situation of the Frente de Todos. “After the pandemic, Cristina began to mark some things in the economic field and the President took it badly. I, who have always been there, can tell you that Cristina never mistreated Alberto, never in my life. I will treat him between cotton “, Máximo recounted in the note signed by Marcelo Figuerasjournalist and writer close to K, to the point that he was the usual presenter in the talks in which the vice presented her book ‘Sinceramente’ in different parts of the country.
There Máximo Kirchner affirmed that Cristina “He is firm in discussions”but he took responsibility for the internal crisis of the Frente de Todos, pointing out that “It is from the Government that the versions on tension are installed” between the parties, “and then they all make distracted faces”.
“It took me a lot to work that bond” Maximo said about his mother and Alberto “And I did it, among other reasons, because I want things to turn out well, but minor characters appear, without any kind of political discussion, training or humility, and then things start to ‘clump up’ despite how much we work so that they don’t happen”added the vice-presidential son in relation to the war of nerves that usually marks the relationship between cristinistas and albertistas.
“We must take care of the instrument created to stand for elections,” added Máximo Kirchner about the Frente de Todos, “and carry out the government, it cannot be that the most important thing is how you look before the public and what is said”.
Kirchner Jr. supported the Minister of the Interior in the note, Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro, immersed in these hours in a serious confrontation with “albertismo”, after he questioned the President for alleged exclusion in the meeting between the president and the president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvaand human rights organizations.
“I am very surprised by the compañero President, who is now so closed to the voice of another compañero that he also broke his back to be President, representing millions of other compañeros and compañeras”said Máximo, who again demanded in the interview that Alberto Fernández convene a political table, to make the main decisions, an area that at the time was also thought of as a “hook” for the opposition.
“If they want to govern Argentina, there must be a minimum agreement,” Máximo stressed in reference to Together for Change, and also spoke about future debt maturities regarding the agreement signed with the IMF, noting that “they are going to come on top of 2024, 2025, 2026, so we should be preparing our boys and girls for the use of technological tools in a world that will generate less and less traditional work”.
Criticism of the Judiciary
In the talk with Figueras in El Cohete a la Luna, Máximo Kirchner also pointed to Justice, an issue that touches his family very closely, surrounded by ongoing processes and with a sentence in the first instance of 6 years in prison for corruption against his mother: “With the Justice that we have, if Cristina wanted to stand in the elections, they would get the final sentence out of her in five minutes,” challenge.
“They hit Cristina everywhere, they spread her conversations with Parrilli, they blew up her house, they made her daughter’s health a pope, and even so, she goes and wins the election. Those guys can’t count it… Do you see that the private sector is also inefficient? So they resort to their last resort: before they took out little tanks and now they take out little judges and they tell you that far you have come”added.
For the son of the Vice President, Alberto Fernández has a fundamental role, “that cannot be dodged” as president of the Nation and of the Justicialista Party (PJ).
“The responsibility – which he decided to assume, because he was not forced to the place where he is – is in his hands. But also, of course, Argentine society will seek and find the way, because it is difficult for the people to start but once they decide and face each other become irrepressible”Max stands out.
The deputy also assured a parallelism between the way in which he found out about the attack against the Vice President, his mother, which took place on September 1, 2022, and the day of the death of Néstor Kirchner in 2010. “When I find out about the attack on Cristina I had just arrived at a friend’s house. Ten minutes later they told me that an episode had occurred that they did not finish explaining to me. I flew back, thinking that when they called me about my old man, they had not told me either too much, just that it had broken down,” he said.
In the same line, detail: “When I arrived at the airport, a worker confronted me, told me: ‘I loved him very much’, and that’s how I found out. Now, while I was traveling on the highway, I was able to receive more information and see the images, but even so, I didn’t get the hang of it. The next day there were those who wanted me to speak during the act, but it was not possible for me. I am a human being and I also have to deal with the things that happen to me.”
Kirchner also told about the incident that she carried out with a City police officer who guarded the former president’s home during the day of the attack. “During the episode of the fences around Cristina’s home, I went with a couple of colleagues, just so that it wouldn’t rot anymore. But I was wrong. You’ve been on the court and been to recitals many times and you know how things are, but I’ve never had a police officer call my name before. And being a taura, besides, your mother’s shell yelling at me, you want to go see mom. Crazy, the weapon that you have there we give it to you when we vote so that you take care of people, not so that you insult me. I had every right to pass.” revealed.
After the signing of the agreement with the IMF, led by the then Economy Minister, Martín Guzmán, Máximo Kirchner resigned as head of the Frente de Todos bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, causing an internal crisis of the FdT that could never be overcome. . It was on January 31, through a letter in which he explained that he made the decision in disagreement with “the strategy used” by the Government “and the results obtained” in the negotiation.
“I spoke with Julio Vitobello (General Secretary of the Presidency) and I told him: ‘I’ve come this far.’ ‘They’re going to kill you, your political career is going to end,’ he replied. It was his honest look. I’ve known Julio since a long time ago. After I spoke with Alberto (Fernández), he suggested that I think about it for a while longer, but I did the numbers again and it still did not close.
“I understand that he was squeezed by the local market, by speculators, but he also understood that the future of several generations was at stake,” said Máximo Kirchner. “There I ask Alberto not to say publicly that it is a good agreement because it is not, because the things that they were saying would happen were not going to happen. I asked that we be frontal with society, that we explain that using a gun in head”, added.
Like Alberto Fernández, Máximo also called for taking the example of the National Team directed by Lionel Scaloni, stating that “the group can take precedence over vanity and individualities”, and maintained that the conflicts within the FdT are due to “to egos and vanities”posing “You have to put aside silly fights.”
Finally, he admitted that the current role of K defenders is not easy: “The militancy is punctured, with a lot of downturn, a lot of anxiety, a lot of depression, an absence of a future in general terms,” but I closed with a message of hope by arguing that “it can be better”.
