The corrupt former president had criticized the Peronist deputies who supported Javier Milei's DNU
When asked about Cristina Kirchner's criticisms, the governor of Tucumán replied firmly: "The truth is I have nothing to say. Simply, what I want to say publicly is that for me, first, is Tucumán; and those who are in the National Congress do not all defend Tucumán."
"Really, every day I'm more convinced that the decision I made as governor of the province was the right one and I have two years and six months of government left. And I will continue on the same path, prioritizing dialogue, prioritizing mutual help," he added.
"Argentina is all of us. Today President Javier Milei who governs us came by the popular will of 14 million Argentines. Today the Argentine homeland is all of us, we are all Argentines and no one saves themselves alone," Jaldo stated.
"Those who permanently oppose all the bills, Decree of Necessity and Urgency projects, and believe they are helping, the truth is they are not," the governor questioned.
To conclude, the governor criticized: "Today putting obstacles, not approving the laws, making such theaters in Congress both in Deputies and Senators, and the truth is that this is not the Argentina that the majority of Argentines want."
After the questioning by the convicted for corruption Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to the Peronist deputies who supported the DNU that enabled a new agreement with the IMF, the governor of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldo, replied and anticipated that he will continue collaborating with the Government of Javier Milei.
"When are they going to realize the damage that has been done to Argentina by thinking and acting the way they have been? I'm not going to sign up for that," Jaldo emphasized in an interview with local media, in response to CFK's criticisms.
A little earlier, the governor of Salta, Gustavo Sáenz, also replied to the former president, who had expressed at the National Educational Congress "Imagine and Transform," held at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA, "much sorrow and much pain" for the deputies of Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca, and Misiones who supported Javier Milei's DNU within the framework of the agreement with the IMF, necessary to boost economic recovery.
In this context, Osvaldo Jaldo, who was the first governor to align with Javier Milei, distancing himself from Peronism and breaking the Unión por la Patria bloc in Congress, clarified: "I will continue working because for me Tucumán comes first and I will continue collaborating with the national Government. I will continue collaborating with my beloved Argentine homeland so that, once and for all, many Tucumanians, Argentine men and women can live much better."
"The truth is I'm not going to respond at all. And if I have to say something, it's that every day I'm more sure and more convinced that as governor of Tucumán who came through institutional Peronism; who has held positions for 40 years and all my positions have been through Peronism, I don't know if she can say the same," Jaldo added, clearly referring to CFK.
