Kirchnerismo uses the crisis in Brazil to criticize the opposition

There are regional left causes that strongly mobilize Kirchnerism. Those who are of another creed do not excite him.

The coup assault against the central buildings of the three powers in Brazil carried out by a mob of Bolsonaro plus the government crisis that shakes Lula da Silva a week after assuming power, once again revealed the frenzy of Albertism and Christianity for the veteran leader of the PT.

But both tribes of the Frente de Todos, once again tried to attack the opposition first and secondly defend their advance against the Judicial Power of the Nation, regardless of the double standard theory they use to rule outside and inside.

Alberto Fernández said yesterday about the assault on Brasilia that democracy is “the only political system that guarantees freedoms and obliges us to respect the popular verdict”.

Then he threw: “Together with the Brazilian people to defend democracy and #NeverMore to prevent the return of the ghosts of the coup rather than of the right”stigmatizing a camp that, from all over the world and from the very first hours of the attack, had condemned the actions of the violent in Brazil.

Fernández’s statements preceded an online duel between the ruling party and the opposition, as the crisis in Brazil quickly spilled over into internal Argentina.

Former president Mauricio Macri said the Bolsonarists’ attack on Brazil’s Planalto, Congress and Supreme Court had “endangered the peace and democratic stability of the country”, but then warned “about the global fragility of democratic institutions and compared the situation in the neighboring country with the impeachment request that the government is promoting against the judges of the Supreme Court.

“(Institutions) can be overwhelmed by a horde like in Brazil or as is happening right now in Argentina with the Supreme Court of Justice through equally brutal anti-democratic political mechanisms,” he said. And he went further: “We must not forget that the Kirchnerismo that today is shocked by the events in Brazil is the same one that in 2017 organized, promoted and led the violent assault on the Congress of the Argentine nation”.

The PRO leader was referring to the violent protests that have rocked his government when trying to pass a pension reform. From Kirchnerism The colossal violence against the legislator was not condemned and, indeed, they criticized Macrista’s “fix”.

It was Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero who put into words this Monday – he spoke on the radio – what Alberto Fernández did not dare to say. “There has been a colonization of anti-democratic, anti-democratic right-wing tendencies in the opposition that has been seen in the rest of the region. This is both (Donald) Trump in the US, (Jair) Bolsonaro in Brazil and represented by (Mauricio) Macri in Argentina.”

CFK, close to Bolsonaro and Trump

However, the similarities between Cristina Kirchner, Trump and Bolsonaro they cannot be left aside when the three refused to participate in the handover ceremonies of their respective successors. And the three have always used social media to attack their opponents and the media that criticize them.

In this case, the vice president only recalled this Sunday that the images of Brasilia reminded her of the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. “Hate speech on the media and on social media, the stigmatization of those who don’t think the same , even wanting to suppress his life and violence are the contemporary sign of the new rights,” he said.

Meanwhile, the pre-candidate and president of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, argued that Alberto Fernández will be able to “examine what is happening” in the neighboring country “the day he withdraws the impeachment request from the Court”. And you accused the Kirchnerists of being “democratic on the outside and authoritarian on the inside”. The former Security Minister also replied to Cafiero.

“Mr Chancellor, Mauricio Macri was democratically elected and has always exercised his mandate in accordance with the law and with respect for the institutions, unlike you, who become a democrat when it suits you. Try to live up to your position” .

While the head of international relations of the PRO, Fulvio Pompeo, said that “some of us believe that to improve democracy is with more democracy, others who defend dictatorships believe that they must go against democratic institutions”, the deputy of the PRO, Cristian Ritondo also crossed paths with the Chancellor and his companion in the Chamber of the Front of Everything, Rodolfo Tailhade, for publishing photos of the National Auditor General, Miguel Angel Pichetto and the libertarian Javier Milei, together with a son of Bolsonaro with the caption “Do you know? All macristas”.

Tailhade wanted to leave them attached to the violent, when in reality they had condemned the protest. But Ritondo reacted to AFI’s former counterintelligence director with a retweet of his complaint, telling him: “We don’t want to spin the Court, we don’t throw 14 tons of stones at Congress and we don’t support the dictators of the region. We support democracy and freedom, always”.

He wrote to Cafiero “Are you seriously going to link @mauriciomacri to what happened in Brazil? Undemocratic in Argentina are those who militate for the seizure of Congress and those who support dictatorships.” And he posted a photo of the current chancellor smiling in the midst of the destruction and a tweet that read, “Victoria. Session has been adjourned.”

This Tuesday, the opposition militancy recalled earlier clarion Kirchner’s endorsement of Cuba – exhilarating on Sunday, the regime that has ruled since 1959 stood up for democracy in Brazil and the popular vote to defend Lula. While they also support Venezuela and Nicaragua without criticism, which they govern on the basis of the oppression of any opposition.

In this case there are other issues, not secondary, such as the defense of Pedro Castillo, author of an autocoup in Peru, or the eloquent silence in the face of the arbitrary arrests of the former Bolivian president Jeanine Añez and the governor of Santa Cruz, Luis Fernando Camacho.
