Mauricio Macri testified this Wednesday in the trial for Shared Dreams and pointed directly against Kirchnerism. Before the Federal Oral Court No. 5, he assured that Alberto Fernández pressured him to authorize payments to the Mothers Foundation of Plaza de Mayo, even though there were already serious irregularities in the execution of the works
.As he said, at the beginning of his administration, he received warnings from his then minister Esteban Bullrich about inconsistencies in the certificates. In this context, he argued that the foundation had charged more than twice what it had actually been executed, which motivated the decision to stop new payments under these
conditions.
Macri also noted that working with the foundation headed by the late Hebe de Bonafini was “traumatic”, although he admitted that due to the passage of time he could not remember all the details. Even so, his testimony reinforced one of the central axes of the judicial process: the existence of political pressure to sustain the flow of funds despite the irregularities detected
