Amid the controversy over the #FuerzaNarco scandal, the Kirchnerist candidate Jorge Taiana once again made his political ideology clear. In an interview with ultra-K activist Pedro Rosemblat, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs openly expressed his desire to "rebuild strategic ties with Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran," nations with which Argentina had aligned during the governments of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner and in which the country isolated itself from the West to embrace authoritarian regimes accused of human rights violations and international illicit activities.
His statements are significant: Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran form the axis of governments most criticized for their disregard for individual freedoms, political repression, and their ties to drug trafficking and terrorism. Taiana's promise to return to that foreign policy means, in effect, a return to diplomatic isolation, alignment with dictatorships, and the dark pacts that marked one of the most controversial periods of Kirchnerism.
