“It began as a reflection on some things and try to be a reflection on us,” said the current senator in an act to about 1,000 people, between political figures, culture and media or human rights activists.
All of them had a special invitation for their access, because in view of the great anticipation of the event, held at the International Book Fair of Buenos Aires, both the political training of Fernandez and its editorial, Sudamericana, opted to narrow the access.

After remarking that it feels “deeply Argentina”, Fernandez revealed that after all that has lived in his life saw necessary to transmit these experiences in his first book as author.
“The book, far from posing clashes or quarrels, is a challenge to all, to the leadership not only political, social, trade union, business, cultural, society… In some parts of the book Interpelo much, “added the Exmandataria.
He insisted in his interest that “sincere” will serve Argentines as an “instrument of debate” from experience.

“After all we’ve been through I don’t believe in wonderful and perfect societies. I think there’s some reflection above what’s down there and vice versa, with our shortcomings limitations. I wanted to convey it primarily to young people, which is my great hope. What I had to live and I’m living and what the Argentines are living, “he said.
“They are difficult times, very difficult,” he lamented, in clear reference to the crisis that the country lives under the management of Mauricio MACRI and when there are only six months left for the presidential elections, to which the senator has not yet confirmed if it will be presented.
