Máximo Kirchner on Argentine Politics and His Mother's News Channel Change

National deputy for Unión por la Patria, Máximo Kirchner, revealed that his mother, former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has decided to change her news channel for information and shared which one she now watches.

In the interview, the journalist asked if Cristina still watched the C5N channel, and Máximo Kirchner surprised with his response, stating that she no longer watches that news signal. "She was watching a bit of 26 TV, which has all international news and was already saying since January that the war was coming," the national deputy recounted, as compiled by the Agencia Noticias Argentinas.

"The fact that Cristina is detained explains what is happening today"

In another part of his speech, Máximo Kirchner stated that there is an "inescapable reality" regarding the former president's figure, which is linked to the political weight she holds, and that is why President Milei "went against a person on March 1st who had not appeared in 90 days because she is in prison."

"It is a person who, even deprived of her liberty, kidnapped by the Judicial Power, meets to talk about her country with people. His goal in this destruction is to keep what suits him."

Separately, he continued to strike blows, speaking about Sports Anonymous Societies (SAD), whose sole purpose is not to make football function better or worse. "He wants to buy Boca because he is a capricious child and because they don't even vote for him anymore."

"Many times, in some sectors, even among progressives, there is disdain for the interior of the country. This is notable because we cannot attribute it only to sectors that we could call, if we wanted to use the word 'right' as a category. This also happens in the non-right world, the disdain for the interior of the country."

Federalism and the action of the provinces

He also stated that in Argentina "those who talk about federalism seek provincialism and as a strategy of the right" and pointed to the actions of some governors who negotiated with the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, to support the labor reform.

"With the labor reform, breaking collective consistency, what was finally sought was for the governors to be plugged into the discussion of a national project that encompasses all Argentines, which also ends up protecting and favoring them in the end," he expressed.

Macri: the exclusive responsible

Finally, he pointed against the former president Mauricio Macri, whom he described as being "the exclusive responsible for the current economic situation," and cited a video that was published last weekend, where he is seen "having fun, and dancing as if he had not indebted the country," in reference to the wedding of one of his nephews to which he attended.

"Only someone who did so badly in his country and enjoys the impunity provided by the Supreme Court dances like that. That person has been enormously harmful, and he enjoys a level... He walks around the world, giving turns, playing bridge, comes, goes, laughs his ass off at life... He left the country subjugated, indebted, and, in addition, he did not build the gas pipeline," he concluded.

AgenciaNAY gets very nervous and restricts their visits in a savage way that doesn't even exist in other similar conditions of house arrest," stated Máximo Kirchner.

Regarding the internal party conflict that has been going on for several months with the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, he stated that "nobody puts sticks in anyone's wheels" because what the PJ intends is "to discuss ideas," and compared this supposed conflict they want to install with the one former President Alberto Fernández had with Fernández de Kirchner: "Here we hear that Alberto was a victim of Cristina and the one in prison is her," he added.

On the other hand, he referred to the figure of Milei and justified his victory by stating that society "got tired" of the promises that previous presidents made during the campaign and that, in the end, they did not fulfill.

"When someone picks up a chainsaw and starts saying the things he says, it's because society got tired of being told that nothing could be done and one appeared who said 'Let's do something.' He distanced himself from a standardized format of formal politicians. If you promise to give all the fights to the people and give none, this happens. That is, the Frente de Todos acted correctly, but it was not up to the circumstances," he analyzed.

He also criticized the current economic situation of the program being carried out by the President along with the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, by stating that today "the victims are the people who are losing their jobs and who don't have enough to make it to the end of the month" and that, in addition, they are the ones "who have no perspective of having a piece of land to be able to build a roof."

The PJ and its support for the development of SMEs

He also referred to the role that kirchnerism had in promoting the development of SMEs in the country and affirmed that they were "a political project that, while in government, created and generated a large number" of small and medium-sized enterprises.

He also remembered his father, former President Néstor Kirchner, who as governor "had strong clashes" with the national Executive Power of the time "for the defense of the continental ice sheets and Argentine territoriality."
