Vicepresident Julio Cobos confirmed today that he’ll be part of the swearing-in ceremony of relected president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and that he is “ready to face any uncomfortable situation that may happen.”
Cobos’ statement came after many Kirchnerites militants had suggested that the Vice President, who they considered a traitor after having voted against a government’s grains export tax law in 2008, could experience a living hell if he dares to attend the swearing-in ceremony.
Besides any critiques thrown against my person, I hope maturity will reign that day, but I’m ready to face any uncomfortable moment.”
Likewise, Cobos referred o the late rumour indicating that he might end swearing in elect Vice President Amado Boudou so the current Economy Minister could then swear in Fernández de Kirchner, thus avoiding any interaction between him and the Head of State, “I have no idea if that’s what’s going to happen, but to my concern it will be greatto have such a collaboration.”
To end, the former governor of Mendoza province asked for God to “enlighten the new elect presidential couple”, and indicated that that the President is “as happy for having won the presidential election as he is for having kept his promise of going until the end of his mandate even though the clear discrepancies with the President and her cabinet.”
