Fabiola Yáñez accused Alberto Fernández of manipulation and of seeking to take custody of Francisco away from her
The former partner of the former Kirchnerist president said she feels vulnerable and afraid, and denied having assigned security. "He exercised economic violence, letting me take care of everything, to destabilize me", she expressed. She also rejected the former president's statements in Sunday's streaming interview: "That is said by a manipulator... in those three sentences there are at least minimal pathologies that he has."
Yáñez maintained that her health is under control and that Fernández's argument of supposed "incapacities" to be a mother seeks to discredit her: "It's an argument from the 1500s." The same leader who staged the circus of the Ministry of Women now accuses his ex-partner of being incapable of mothering his son.
She said that Francisco returns agitated from visits and doesn't sleep well, and she assured that the child slept in a third house belonging to someone from Fernández's circle. That is, the cynical former president doesn't even take care to share time with his son in his own home.
When asked about her livelihood, she stated that she lost jobs due to "strange things" and that friends helped her to rent. "Through third parties, yes"—she replied when asked if Fernández stole from her—and regarding the 30% of the pension he must contribute: "Do you bring a child into the world so that the courts tell you to help him?"
The attorney Marcela De Leonardis questioned the fact that the matter is being handled in a contraventional court in Buenos Aires: "What is appropriate is the family court, with interdisciplinary teams for reconnection." She denied the impediment to contact: "The video calls did take place." Meanwhile, she warned about a possible change of jurisdiction that, in her opinion, would dilute the gender violence case.
In an interview with Infobae, Fabiola Yáñez stated that Alberto Fernández is trying "to make her appear incapable of mothering" and that his goal is to take custody of Francisco, who is three and a half years old.
"He wants to prove that I can't be a mother," she said, and spoke about manipulation, psychological and economic violence. She stated that she avoids mentioning him by judicial recommendation: "He has the habit of going to a friendly judge and reporting me for everything I do", highlighting the complicity of judges close to Kirchnerism.
Yáñez recounted that she returned to the country after two years in Spain and found herself facing an accelerated "reconnection" regime in a court that—she claims—doesn't correspond. "The reconnection has been very rushed... violating rights," she pointed out. She also questioned the lack of material support: "He never provided a roof for his son."
Regarding the complaint for impediment to contact filed by Fernández, Yáñez denied its existence: "Francisco communicated two or three times a week with his father... there were video calls monitored by the Secretariat for Children." She stated that, when there were scheduled visits, he did not attend: "He didn't come for the birthday; at Easter he said he didn't have tickets."
