CFK: ‘Romney is like those who say social plans are for lazy people’

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner harshly criticized US Republican candidate Mitt Romney and affirmed that she is «more alike» the current head of state, Democrat Barack Obama, who is running for reelection.

«We can see that the things a candidate says are like the ones that some say here about the social plans, that they are people who don’t want to work,» Fernández de Kirchner said referring to Romney.

«Our thoughts are similar to the current President’s ones,» she continued, as she added: «Romney is more conservative.»

The President announced during a rally at the Government House the construction of a gas pipeline that will run all along the southern area of Córdoba province.
