Aníbal Fernández ratified his statements against the opposition and pointed to the press: “They are irresponsible”

Security Minister Anibal Fernandez this morning ratified his statements about “streets littered with blood and dead” in case the opposition wins this year’s general elections. Approached by journalists waiting for him at the headquarters of the Ministry of Security, the official explained: “In the note they ask me about the opposition. I don’t like to talk about the opposition, but in order not to dodge the question, I comment on what I hear.” “And what you heard,” he continued, “is that you talk about dynamiting. How is it dynamited without wounds or blood? How do you make those who have to die die? -in allusion to a phrase that the ruling party attributes to Mauricio Macri- All expressions that each of the representatives of the opposition pour. So, what I said is that if they become a government and that’s what they’re going to put into practice, that inexorably closes with repression.” Does it literally ratify everything?” one of the chroniclers asked him then. Visibly upset by questions about insecurity, the minister charged against the press. “I didn’t come to debate with you… My answer is very clear. ‘Irresponsible’, headlines Clarín today. Irresponsible are you who do not see what he says [Mauricio] Macri [Javier] Milei, what the opposition says,” he said. What I said is what I hear,” the minister insisted. And he again mentioned Macri and Milei, and added the head of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich. “They generate panic among people,” he said. Fernández’s statements generated widespread repudiation in the opposition. “The streets are already strewn with blood and death, in case you didn’t know. Take charge,” PRO candidate Patricia Bullrich wrote on Twitter. Javier Milei, another of those mentioned by the official, said: “There are those who say that we generate violence. They warn us that they will not accept defeat. They are clinging to the offices, and to their caste privileges.” The head of government and presidential candidate, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, also crossed the minister: “Neither blood nor dead, there are those who light the fire and those who put it out. Violent never again.” At a press conference, the spokeswoman, Gabriela Cerruti, clarified that “she would not have said” what Fernández said because she has “another way” of expressing herself, but ratified her accusations to the opposition. Who said that everything had to be dynamited when they reached the presidency was former President Mauricio Macri. Who said that those who have to die have to die, both during the pandemic and now when he has just said that congenital pathologies do not have to be covered by the State, just like the candidate for president Javier Milei, “he said. The minister said that was what was going to be able to happen based on the fact that both Macri and Milei talk about that when they reach the government they are going to do everything that needs to be done, they are going to dynamite everything, they are going to break everything that has to be broken, “he added.
