Rodríguez Larreta: “Vice President, do not continue to incite aggression and violence”

The head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, spoke this morning to Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, asking her “not to continue inciting aggression and violence.” “Argentines need to live together and in peace,” he said. Rodríguez Larreta ratified, in line with what his officials had advanced, that he will not abide by the ruling of Judge Roberto Gallardo, who yesterday ordered the Buenos Aires Government to withdraw the Police from the City of Juncal and Uruguay -where Vice President Cristina Kirchner lives-, under the argument that the security of the former president corresponds to the federal forces. We are not going to shirk our obligations,” said the mayor, while confirming that they appealed the ruling and recused the magistrate. “He is a judge aligned with the Kirchnerist interests who without having competence on the subject, issued a ruling that ordered us to free the street, to stop taking care of the security of the City,” he said, speaking from the Higher Institute of Public Security. as she had done last Monday, after the request for a sentence of 12 years in prison by the prosecutor Diego Luciani, who considers her the head of an illicit association set up to defraud the State. “Madam Vice President, I want to ask you not to continue to incite aggression and violence,” he said. For the opposition leader, the statements of the head of the Senate constitute a “distraction that is not aligned with the priorities of Argentines.” The priority, he said, is in the issues that you not only did not solve, but aggravated. Inflation, insecurity, lack of work, the education crisis. Those are the problems that concern us at Together for Change and that’s why we remain united working on a plan.” Madam Vice-President, the model that I defend and that you defend is in plain sight. It is the search for peace against the deepening of the rift and aggressions, it is the defense of the republic against abuses of institutions,” he added. And he concluded: “It is time, once and for all, for him to stop dealing with resolving his personal issues and to take care of charting a course to get us Argentines out of this terrible situation. That’s what it was voted for. We will not enter into their provocations, we will always be on the side of peace.”
