Fernández slams Carrió’s ‘self-coup’ comments

Secretary General to the Presidency Aníbal Fernández told media that Civic Coalition MP Elisa Carrió is “absolutely dirty” condemning the lawmaker’s recent statements about a “self-coup” allegedly planned by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for Sunday’s opening of Congress sessions.

“Is anyone going to attend what (Elisa) Carrió says, who is absolutely dirty from where you want to look at her?” Fernández said today as he arrived at the government house.

“What she has made up is stupid.”

Yesterday, Elisa Carrió urged opposition MPs not to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Congress sessions that will be headed by Cristina Kirchner saying that “security conditions are not ripe,” accusing the head of state of planning what she called a “self-coup”.

“She cares nothing about her mother, women, others’ kids, and she insults and insults,” the ex senator added. “That woman has no peace,” he insisted and criticized Carrió also for her political decisions recalling her vote against the exit of Martín Redrado from the Central Bank in 2010 following a decision by the federal government to use Argentina’s international reserves to serve its debt commitments.

“When the debate was held in Congress she voted against the replacement of (Martín) Redrado because she could have put Figueroa as an adviser, who is the person who borrows her the house in Punta del Este,” Fernández affirmed.
