Kirchner He said that the same thing had happened with the former president of Ecuador Rafael Correa – currently an asylum seeker in Belgium – when he was president in the country.
“Look at the situation of what Ecuador was when Rafael Correa governed and what Ecuador is today ravaged by drug trafficking, with social problems and with a much deeper inequality,” asserted.
According to the vice president, what has happened with Lula and Correa is the same thing that is happening with her because they are violating her constitutional guarantees and all the accusations made against her “are lies.”
“When all the guarantees are violated, when the judge said one thing and today says another based on a complaint made by the government (of his main opponent, former President Mauricio) Macri, obviously there will be a conviction,” he pointed.
