Argentina’s Vice-President Cristina Kirchner said the court that tried her for corruption in public works during their previous government (2007-2015) “firing squad.”
Fernández de Kirchner said prosecutor Diego Luciani, who accused him of leading an illegal association, “invented the facts” and hid the others to the point of “”.misrepresentation and lies.” While the vice president was making his defense before the judges virtually from his office in the Senate, he felt that Luciani’s actions had set the stage for the September 1 assassination attempt. “Bullet that doesn’t come out and failure that will come out“He added about an opinion that he had ruled out to be against. Look, the firing squad and therefore there will be no identification,” he said.
The prosecution asked 12 years in prison and disqualification from elective duties. His lawyers assured him that Luciani participated in a forensic charade without providing a single piece of evidence. Fernández de Kirchner is considering the possibility of participating in the 2023 presidential election.
According to the vice-president, the prosecution tasked itself throughout the process to “insult, hurt, humiliate and act not according to the law, but an editorial of ‘Clarín’ or ‘La Nación’ (the main newspapers in this country)”. “They deserve to be star journalists for this media, because their detachment from the form and substance of the issue was incredible.”
kept in order federal courts focus on cases where he is allegedly a member of a criminal organization, not cases in which he is a victim. of attempted murder. “Perhaps my death, my murder may not be seen as an act of shock to the public.”
The right-wing opposition celebrated Luciani’s performance and made him one of their new heroes.
The vice president’s judicial panorama may be more complex if two cases that were closed more than a year ago are reopened.
