We have the material authors sitting here, but not the ideologues or financiers of the act. There is a debt to be settled with democracy and with those who believe that politics should be an instrument to change the life of society and not a refuge for those who seek to kill and stigmatize, she said.
Almost two years ago, a man named Fernando Sabag pointed a gun at the former head of state when she was greeting people gathered outside her home in the Recoleta neighborhood of the capital.
The individual said ¨I pulled the trigger once, not twice, and I did not reload the weapon because I was intercepted. I had no time to leave or escape the plan. The distance was prudent to be able to reach it. I was 30 centimeters away¨, the individual declared.
In addition, his girlfriend Brenda Uriarte and an individual linked to them: Nicolás Carrizo, were arrested.
It would be very naive to think that those three people planned everything, Fernández affirmed and insisted on the need to investigate the involvement of the organization Revolución Federal and the Propuesta Republicana party, the alleged relationship of the deputy of Juntos por el Cambio Gerardo Milman with the event and the links of the current Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich with the elimination of cell phone data of several witnesses.
In addition, she recalled that shortly before the attack Milman presented a project criticizing her custody, where he referred to the possibility that someone tried to kill her to present her as a victim.
The document ends with a sentence: Without Cristina there is Peronism and without Peronism there is Argentina. Later we found out that someone heard him say: “When they kill her I will be on my way to the coast.” The cell phones of his secretaries were erased by the current director of Technology of the Ministry, in Bullrich’s office, he denounced.
He also pointed out that the instruction of Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti was “an absolute disaster” and said no attempt was ever made to find the real authors nor was there an impartial process.
The judicial party in coordination with the hegemonic media were fundamental factors in the exacerbation of violence.
Today there are no military coups. The methodology has changed. In times of hatred and networks, it is no longer necessary to disappear or kill anyone, although in some cases it seems that it is. What articulates all this is concentrated economic power, Fernández indicated.
The former president said that before the attack, there were events such as the throwing of stones at her office in the Senate, the placing of posters blaming her for the deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic, the lies and defamation of prosecutor Diego Luciani and the placing of fences around her house.
All of this contributed to a climate that led to the failed assassination attempt. The city police were very aggressive with the Peronists and very careful and permissive with those who came to insult me.
They also did intelligence work and it is proven, she said.
Fortunately I did not see the weapon. When a woman exercises power and does not do so in the direction that the concentrated sectors want, much more resistance and violence is generated. It never occurred to me that in democratic Argentina there could be an attack. They took away the proximity I had with the people and that affects, she said.
Fernández said that her family was seriously affected and her granddaughter had psychological treatment because she feared that she would be killed. On the other hand, he indicated that the judicial process is being made invisible, except when they try to hold his guard responsible.
It’s ridiculous, but I have to prove that it’s not my fault that they tried to kill me. I try not to see the image of the attack, even though it is often repeated in the media. It’s difficult. God and the Virgin did not allow the shot to go off and then the militants did not let me put the gun back together, load it and shoot myself, he said.
