‘I pity Menem and Sola,’ Duhalde

Popular Front presidential candidate Eduardo Duhalde assures he “pities” lawmaker Felipe Solá and Senator Carlos Menem, who have re-established friendly ties with the Government in the last few weeks, despite previous feuds.

“I pity both of them,” Duhalde said, a few days after Solá abandoned the Federal Peronism bloc in the Lower House and declared himself as “independent” and renewed his sympathy towards President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s administration.

“Political tv shows will have start providing seat belts, because everybody is jumping around,” Duhalde said, regarding Solá’s latest political stance.

When asked about former president Menem, who keeps an alliance with Kircherism in La Rioja pr Duhalde stressed that he “pities” him. “I am convinced he’s being extorted. Excepting the Radical Party, the rest of the opposition is scared,” the presidential candidate concluded.
