Former President of Argentina Christina Fernandez (2007-2015) called this Thursday”little dictatorPresident Javier Miley, rejecting his decision to deprive him of the pension he receives for taking up the position of head of state.

“The only thing you were missing, Miley!!! Now it turns out that you are not only the head of the executive branch, but also want to create and head a “Court of Honor” that will evaluate the honor, merit and good work in office of the country’s former presidents. And to top it all off… A court with the power to impose and impose penalties in addition to judicial ones? Fernandez responded via X.

The Miley government announced this Thursday that it will revoke the pension that Fernandez receives for occupying the head of state, after yesterday a judge confirmed in the second instance the conviction against her in the case of violations in the concession for road works during her reign and this is her husband and predecessor, the late Nestor Kirchner (2003–2007).

His pension will also be revoked for being Kirchner’s widow.

In support of its decision, the government said that Cristina Fernandez “was convicted by the Criminal Court of Cassation for being the author of the crime of fraud in management, which represents the opposite of honor, merit and good work.”

“You are so off-axis that the little dictator you have always carried within you is emerging,” said the former president, who argued that Argentines who voted “in good faith” for Miley in 2023 “will not live long enough to regret what he has done.” This.”

Fernandez can appeal to the Supreme Court this Wednesday’s sentence of six years in prison and indefinite disqualification from holding public office, and if he does so, the sentence will be suspended until the high court makes a decision on which the Supreme Court won’t be . He has deadlines.

In his post on X, Fernandez wonders if Miley wants to join the “judicial mafia” to go after her too.

“I tell you that I was very afraid of the dictator (Jorge) Videla. But you only make me feel sorry for you and embarrass you,” he said.

Fernández said that the decision announced this Thursday by the Miley government is “illegal,” since pensions for former presidents are not awarded for good work, but for the “merit” of being elected heads of state by popular vote.

He also stated that “the poor performance of the President can only be assessed by the National Congress through the constitutional procedure of impeachment during the execution of his mandate.”

“Only the people, through their representatives, can deprive them of the honor and merit of being elected president of the nation. What part don’t you understand, Miley? Basic constitutional law. Just think, there are people who voted for you, thinking that you know a lot,” he commented.
