President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner strongly criticized Radical senator Ernesto Sanz after he suggested that he hoped the economy wouldn’t improve so the Kirchnerites lost the mid-terms in October.
“In 25 years of political activism and from my place in government I never envisioned that in order to get somewhere the other side had to fail, that’s lazy and mediocre because you can’t think of working in order to get there,” she said in reference to Sanz’s remarks while attending a political rally at the Santa Cruz city of Las Heras.
In a television interview, the Radical lawmaker had said that “we are living the end of a cycle,” in reference to the alleged end of the Kirchnerite movement.
“The economy isn’t working correctly and the Government isn’t getting anything right, it’s mistake after mistake. If you put all that in a combo, add journalists who get the evidence of this and on top of that include the public mood, you end up with what we have now: demonstrations, marches, and I hope this continues until October. Because sometimes I think about what would happen if the economy improved just a little bit, what would happen after the elections?” he closed.
