The governor of Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejojoined this Thursday the radical criticism against Javier Mileiafter the President accused Raul Alfonsin of having been “supporter of a coup d’état” next to Eduardo Duhalde against Fernando de la Rúa.
Specifically, when participating in an event of the Mediterranean Foundation in Córdoba, Milei said: “Following the fall of convertibility and the coup of State powered by (Eduardo) Duhalde and (Raúl) Alfonsín that, paradoxically, They show Alfonsín as the father of democracy, even though he was a supporter of a coup d’état”.
Alfredo Cornejo crossed Javier Milei
The words of the owner of the Executive power earned him a shower of criticism from leaders of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), among them the Mendoza president, who bowed to the statement issued by his province’s party against the President.
For Cornejo, “To say that there was a coup d’état in 2001 is decidedly not true.” “The coup was in ’76 and Alfonsín judged the military junta,” commented the provincial head during an interview with Radio Miter Mendoza.
Along these lines, he accused the libertarian administration of trying to “change history is what the government wants to do.” Kirchnerism many times, change history..” Likewise, he assured that the discussion about the past “bores a good part of Argentines, but it must be faithful to the truth”.
Finally, Alfredo Cornejo pointed out the relevance of the discussion for the future, which is “what is worthwhile, having solutions to economic issues, resolving the social deterioration of not growing. Those discussions are what are worth it.”
At the same time, the UCR Mendoza published a statement on social networks, in which it points out that “Alfonsín is synonymous with courage and democracy, facing those who plunged us into the darkest years.” “May our leaders recover that spirit of dialogue and institutional strength,” the text demands.
“Raúl Alfonsín was the President who had the courage to guide Argentina in its return to democracy. In times of uncertainty and fear, he defended the rights and freedoms of the people, confronting those who had subjected us to one of the eras darkest times in our history,” the document states.
In another passage, he assures that the former president who died in 2009 “with conviction, promoted dialogue, consensus and the strengthening of our institutions.”
“He is deeply mistaken”
The Mendoza UCR considered that Javier Milei “It is deeply wrong to offend his figure,” since “Alfonsín left a legacy that goes beyond politics.”
“His commitment to democratic values and social justice continues to be an example for our country. I hope that our representatives have the ability to recover that same spirit of unity and respect with him, and thus contribute to a more just and free Argentina “, he concludes.
In parallel, the National UCR issued a statement stating that Milei’s statements“nor is it just an unjustified insult to his memory, it is an affront to the Argentine people“, they stated and asked that he cease “his grievances against who was the true leader of the Argentine democratic process.”
“It was Raúl Alfonsín who truly received the worst inheritance that an Argentine president had to face upon taking office, and he did it without ever attacking an adversary, without ever limiting freedoms and with the commitment to strengthen democracy, a system that allowed Javier Milei to be elected deputy first and president later,” says the UCR statement in defense of Alfonsín.
