He also stated that, despite the differences between the two, he maintains respect and affection for the vice president, who “is the victim of an unforgivable persecution”, he added, referring to the legal cases against him for corruption during his mandates (2007-2015).

In the last primary elections, the leader of Freedom Advances obtained the highest percentage of the votes (30.04%), which Fernández assessed as an accumulation of unsatisfied needs.

“I believe that the pandemic affected many, it discouraged society, and the inherited debt, plus the war that unleashes an inflationary process in the world, together with the drought, is a combo of things that makes it easier to sow discouragement”, explained the president.

In his opinion, the “anti-system or anti-political discourse” Milei managed “capture a third of the citizenry, which is divided into three thirds, this is the truth”.

“It is not that he has managed to consecrate himself as president, he has managed to capture 30% of the citizens who have not paid much attention to the underlying things he says and found in him a channel to express their discomfort, and I understand that discomfort”, he indicated.

Fernández insisted on his attack on the far-right candidate, whom he defined as “the greatest defender of the power caste in Argentina”, because, with measures such as dollarization, the opening of imports or the elimination of social housing and public works, “is defending the sectors of power in Argentina, the true caste”.

In this sense, since the weekend, Argentina has suffered several attacks and robberies at commercial premises in different parts of the territory, which, according to the president, have been the work of organized gangs.

“Some agitated that taking advantage of a difficult moment and the electoral result, for robbery purposes and some for political purposes.“, hill.
