Cristina Kirchner denounces campaign to ban her from political life.
Argentina's vice president says the campaign against her by the "judicial party" is nothing new.
247 - Argentina's Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said on Tuesday (27) that her decision not to run in the 2023 elections is not a "resignation," but the result of a campaign to ban her. According to her, there is also an ongoing campaign to politically ban Peronism itself, reports Telesur.
"It's not resignation or self-exclusion, it's prohibition," said Fernández de Kirchner at the inauguration of the Diego Armando Maradona Municipal Sports Center in Vila Corina, Avellaneda, on the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires.
The former Argentine president (2007-2015) highlighted that the campaign against her, which she attributed to the "judicial party," is nothing new.
"This proscription procedure is not new; they started planning it the day after December 9th, when we said goodbye in the Square and people sang 'We will return'," he said, referring to the day his presidential term ended in 2015.
“I did not resign. I announced that I would not subject our political force to accepting as a candidate someone who would hear 'she is condemned' and, in that way, would be perfectly functional for them. This is not against me, it is against Peronism,” said the vice-president.
He called on the leaders and activists of the ruling Frente de Todos to engage in politics with the people.
"It's necessary to go out and talk and explain, to come down, to have contact with the communities and the reality," he said.
Finally, Cristina called for a large demonstration on March 24th, the 40th anniversary of the return to democracy in the South American country.
"March 24th, in the year that marks 40 years of democracy, will be a very important date for us to mobilize all of Argentina around a single slogan: Argentina and democracy without mafias. We Argentinians deserve it."
