“I believe Moyano is mistaken and that he should apologize,” Férnandez remarked this morning.
Victory Front Senator and former Cabinet Chief Aníbal Fernández tackled Labour Confederation (CGT) leader Hugo Moyano today for criticizing President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s administration and calling him a “fairground clown” during an interview yesterday.
Speaking in a radio interview yesterday morning, Moyano called the senator “a typical fairground clown” and stated that “he has the vocation to serve, and the vocation of the lackey, which he has had since (former caretaker president Eduardo) Duhalde, through to (former president Carlos) Menem, to (late former president Néstor) Kirchner and now with the present government.”
“I believe Moyano is mistaken and that he should apologize,” Férnandez remarked this morning during an interview to a local radio station. The senator also said he considered the teamster a “friend” and he was “personally very fond of him.”
Fernández pointed out Moyano “had unsolved problems with other union leaders that shouldn’t be blamed on the government,” as response to the teamster’s accusation the administration was “buying out” union leaders.
The former chief of cabinet also accused the umbrella chief of “machismo” for not “quite accepting the Peronist movement could be run by a woman.”
Yesterday, the unionist expressed his wish to see a teamster as the nation’s President and said “the country will only change when it has a president leading it that has been through hard times. Someone who hasn’t been told about crisis, but someone who has lived it.»
In addition, the leader mentioned the fact that his relationship with expresident Néstor Kirchner “was not excellent,” further aggravating his relations with the current country’s office.
