After the attack on CFK: Aníbal Fernández offered his resignation to the President

The Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, defended the actions of the custody of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. At the same time, he disassociated the Federal Police from the loss of data from the cell phone of Fernando Sabag Montiel, arrested for trying to assassinate the vice president, and spoke about his continuity in office.” The protocols have been complied with,” said the official, while denying a delayed reaction by the security that on Thursday night worked in Recoleta, when a man triggered the former president in the face. Asked about the delay in getting the vice president out of the place, he replied: “It is possible to decipher that there is a weapon after a long time, in the place the same thing happens.” “I am not justifying,” he clarified, “what happened is a horrific event, we are treating it very carefully and I think the judge and the prosecution are doing a very good job.” On the other hand, he said that the Federal Police did not manipulate the cell phone of the only defendant for the fact, regarding the loss of data from the device. “The Federal Police picked up the phone, placed it in a faraday bag and sent it to the courthouse. The court gives us a receipt that says it was received with the chain of custody intact. That’s where our task goes, then I don’t know what’s going on,” he said. Regarding the statements of some leaders of the ruling party calling for his resignation, he said: “I told the President that I was willing to run away.” In turn, he rejected the statements of the president of Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, Hebe de Bonafini, one of those who called for his resignation: “He opined without knowing what was done.” “Talking is very easy, you have to look at things as they are. We are working on the issue,” he said.
