translated from Spanish: Alberto Fernandez: “I know where I’m going to get, but I’m not scared”

“It was a conversation between two friends who are involved in the same project,” revealed Alberto Fernandez tonight, hours after Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner surprised own and strangers with the assembly of a presidential formula that will have as Candidate for Vice president, delegating to his former chief of staff the nomination for the presidency. ” Cristina had this idea and I am here to help, “Fernandez said leaving his house in Puerto Madero before a group of journalists who mounted guard to interview him. “Cristina is carrying on an incredible act of generosity. To me it is a great peace of mind that she is. ”
“The impressive thing is that Cristina could win the election without anyone and the truth is that she had this gesture because she is a more reflective, different Cristina. She believed that in the coming instance I can contribute more. ” 

On the electoral assembly in the face of the presidential elections, Fernandez said that “the goal is to try to unite all the opposition, all that we can. And to do this you have to make an effort, understand that we must be together, respect each other in diversity. ” He said he still could not speak with Sergio Massa, although he did with Axel Kicillof and economists Matías Kulfas Cheppi Ratti and Guillermo Nielsen. He expressed his intention to make “an important opposition critical mass and generate greater pluralism within space”. 
“The circumstances made me end up here. Now get to work. Argentina needs the joint effort to get out of an immeasurable crisis. ”

“During the six years I was chief of staff I put all the hours of my life. I can give all my dedication, my knowledge. Commitment of the work, “he said. Fernandez was very critical of the management of Mauricio MACRI. “It’s going to leave an Argentina of very poor quality, in every sense, economically and institutionally,” he said. I know where I’m going to get in, but it doesn’t scare me. We already did it in 2003. I’m not afraid of the International Monetary Fund, I know who they are and how they act, I’ve negotiated with them, I’m not scared of them. The ideal is that we do it all to find an outlet for the commitments that Argentina has with the world, “said the presidential candidate. Consulted on the first oral and public trial against Cristina Kirchner, which begins next Tuesday, Fernandez said: “This cause is a disgrace, is a legal mess. All they do is push it at all costs because they think it’s going to ruin Cristina. They think that if Cristina is sitting there it will affect her electorally, but they do not realize that people already know that Cristina is a victim of the judicial system. ” In this note:
