The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, said this Sunday that it would be “wonderful” to face former president Cristina Fernández (2007-2015) in presidential elections, who this Saturday criticized the ultra-liberal in a public event.
«Facing Cristina would be wonderful. It would be so much fun. “It would put an end to the darkest history of Argentina after the dictatorship,” said the head of state in a radio interview when asked if he would like to compete with the Peronist leader in the 2027 presidential elections.
In statements to radio Rivadavia, Milei described the speech given this Saturday by the former president as “very poor.”
“It is a notorious intellectual poverty,” he asserted.
In a public event, Fernández this Saturday accused Milei of “anarcho-colonialism”, making a play on words with the doctrine that he advocates, anarcho-capitalism, and asked him for “a change of direction” in his adjustment policies.
Fernández, vice president of the country until December 10, when Milei assumed the Executive, referred to the speech offered on national television days ago by the president to announce the fiscal and financial surplus achieved in the first quarter of 2024 as a product of his drastic adjustment plan and which, according to her, “has no basis.”
In his speech lasting an hour and a half, which took place at the inauguration of the Presidente Néstor Kirchner Microstadium, in the Buenos Aires town of Quilmes, Fernández indicated that he does not question Milei’s legitimacy as president, because he recognizes “how unappealable the popular vote.
However, he stated that “the legitimacy of origin also needs to be legitimized in the results of management.” EFE
