CFK meets with families of AMIA victims, backs case to continue

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has met with members of the 18J Family, Survivors and Friends of the Victims of the AMIA Attack Association, led by Sergio Burstein, in an audience held at her official residence in Olivos.

«We talked about the case itself, about the fear and anxiety over what will happen with the main case, and of course about the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman. We asked her to redouble her efforts and to not halt the investigation, so we can find the truth, Burstein explained after the audience.

«We need to know what happened with Nisman,» the representative repeated, while adding that during the meeting in Olivos «the SIDE was not discussed,» referring to the planned dissolution of the intelligence agency.

Burstein earlier described CFK’s decision to send a bill to Congress disbanding the Intelligence Secretariat (SI) as «an act of incredible bravery,» prior to the audience that was also attended by Cabinet chief Jorge Capitanich, Justice minister Julio Alak and Presidential secretary Aníbal Fernández.

«Closing the SI, which was really the ‘no intelligence’ because they could not give us any of the answers that we needed, is an incredibly brave act,» the representative of the victims told Radio América.
