Inkriql Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The coup attempt that took place yesterday in Brazil provoked immediate repudiation from a large part of Latin America, but at the same time it revived the rift that divides Argentina: the crossfire once again confronts leaders of the Frente de Todos y Juntos for Change, the two main spaces that dispute power. Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero revived that confrontation by trying to define in a few words what is happening in the country led by Lula. "This is the radicalization of the anti-democratic right," the official began his analysis, before going into more detail on the concept during an interview with El Destape Radio. It may interest you: The day after the devastation “In the opposition there was a colonization of anti-democratic tendencies, of anti-democratic right wing that was seen in the rest of the region. This is so much (Donald) Trump in the United States, (Jair) Bolsonaro in Brazil and is represented by (Mauricio) Macri in Argentina”, shot the foreign minister. To support his diagnosis, Cafiero pointed out that "there are many violent leaders of macrismo" who tend to agitate public opinion and then do not take responsibility for what they cause: "During the pandemic they were with the 'infection' and promoted marches against sanitary measures. Then there was the attempted assassination of Cristina (Kirchner) and they looked the other way, saying "I have nothing to do with this." “Trump made the same excuse with the seizure of the Capitol, Bolsonaro made the same excuse with the acts of violence of his supporters, and at the time the same thing was said by Macri and other violent leaders that Juntos por el Cambio has,” added the official who forms part of the Front of All. “I summarize it this way: when you sow hate, you reap haters. So you can't do the distracted ones, ”he concluded. The one who came out to answer him was Fernando Straface, Secretary General and International Relations of the Buenos Aires government, and one of Horacio Rodrígez Larreta's main advisers: “Malpractice and democratic fog in the words of Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero. President Mauricio Macri is an asset of enormous international trust for Argentina. The situation in Brazil does not admit such banality and spurious use of tragedy”. Opposition and chaos in Brazil The leaders of Together for Change spoke about the attempted coup in Brazil and among them was Mauricio Macri, who stated: “My solidarity with President Lula at this time. The episode warns about the global fragility of democratic institutions, which can be run over by a horde as in Brazil or as is happening right now in Argentina with the Supreme Court of Justice through equally brutal anti-democratic political mechanisms. The former President and founder of the PRO took the opportunity to question the ruling party with a memory of something that happened during his time as head of state: "We must not forget that the Kirchnerism that today is shocked by the events in Brazil is the same as in 2017 he organized, promoted and was the protagonist of the violent assault on the Congress of the Argentine Nation”, when the then management of Cambiemos promoted a pension reform. “Democracy and institutions have to be respected always and everywhere. Because first they will destroy the institutions, then they will destroy freedom and life, "he concluded. https://www.infobae.com/politica/2023/01/09/santiago-cafiero-hablo-del-intento-de-golpe-en-brasil-es-una-derecha-antidemocratica-que-en-la-argentina-esta-representada-por-macri/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
