Santiago Cafiero, on the death of Fabián Gutiérrez: “The very idea that the Government has responsibility is definitely repulsive”

A few hours after the police found the body of Fabián Gutiérrez, the former secretary of Cristina Kirchner who was missing since Thursday, the chief of staff, Santiago Cafiero, stated the official position regarding the crime. In this way, he questioned the opposition for his criticism and argued that “The very idea that the Government has responsibility” in this fact “is definitely repulsive.”

Through a series of messages that he published on his official Twitter account, which were later shared by the President Alberto Fernández, the official considered that Together for Change “tries to take advantage of the electorate” with this issue.

“We are convinced that this is not the time to sow false divisions between Argentines and Argentines. Hate affects democratic coexistence and only paralyzes us, preventing us from advancing. It is inadmissible to use the sensitivity that the pain of crime generates to obtain political advantages ”, Cafiero said.

The official referent pointed out the macrista sector from time to time and remarked that “it is not worth everything because there is no end that justifies the media and” neither were the social networks intended to spread the lie.

“Based on that conviction, the National Government has learned with great regret the statement that the presidents of the parties that make up Cambiemos have signed before the unfortunate news item that reported the murder of Fabián Gutierrez,” said the head of the Cabinet.

In this way, the Executive Branch responded to the text signed by the PRO authorities, Patricia Bullrich and Federico Angelini; from the UCR, Alfredo Cornejo and Alejandra Lordén; and from the Civic Coalition, Maximiliano Ferraro and Mariana Zuvic, who warned that “the kidnapping, disappearance and murder” from the former secretary of Cristina Kirchner it is “of the utmost institutional gravity” and they demanded that the investigation be transferred to the orbit of federal justice.

Among other things, the opposition asked that “there are no relatives of the vice president ” involved in the process, referring to the prosecutor in the case, Natalia Mercado, who is the niece of the former president, and thought that “The provincial justice is already trying to install, without any evidence, hypotheses about the reason” of homicide.

“The very idea that the Government has responsibility for such an event is definitely repulsive, especially if you bear in mind that such infamy is intended to be installed in a social framework marked by the anguish of the pandemic,” said Cafiero in this regard.

In this sense, the official guaranteed that “the commitment” of the current national administration “with the rule of law is absolute” and stressed that “the need for a republican system prevailing in the country with judicial independence and without interference from the powers Factual is an unavoidable imperative ”.

“The commitment of the political authorities of the opposition does not seem to be the same that, from the misrepresentation and manipulation of the facts, it tries to take advantage of the electorate. The way in which they try to falsify reality to achieve public confusion is painful “, critical.

Lastly, he pointed out that “in these days when alleged mechanisms are being aired in national courts that would link intelligence services, journalists and magistrates in promoting false criminal charges, political responsibility should be multiplied.”

“We are convinced that the empire of Justice must be restored in Argentina once and for all. This is achieved by requiring the magistrates and courts acting the maximum diligence and the highest judicial technical rigor. Unity has allowed us to better face the most difficult time we had to live. That good sense is not lost and that those who dig the cracks that divide us review their procedures and are called to reflection, “he closed.

Along these same lines, the Secretary of Communication and Press of the Presidency, Juan Pablo Biondi, asked the members of Cambiemos to “have the responsibility of opponents who did not have rulers.”

Likewise, the interior minister, Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro, maintained that “the opposition appealed again today to lies and opportunism” because “they politically speculated with the death of Fabián Gutiérrez while his family demanded respect.”

“In politics not everything is worth. Speeches that foster hatred are a limit to our democratic life. Argentines and Argentines have already told you enough, “he remarked.

For its part, the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, led by Marcela Losardo, remarked “that Fabián Gutiérrez was never part of the portfolio’s National Protection Program for Witnesses and Defendants“Since” neither he nor any judicial authority required his protection. “
