Buenos Aires., In a very difficult week for the government of the far-right Javier Milei, a series of situations are shocking the population. When almost 6 million Argentines have joined the poverty figures in just a few months, it is reported that Fabricaciones Militares, a state-owned company, would be handed over to the United States and used to produce weapons for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Likewise, it was revealed that the presidential project to release those detained for crimes against humanity was agreed upon between them and the deputies of the ruling party La Libertad Avanza who recently visited them.
But what occupies the front pages of the media is the complaint of Fabiola Yáñez, against her ex-husband, former president Alberto Fernández, for alleged gender violence, telephone harassment and psychological terrorism.
This led the former president to resign from the presidency of the Justicialist Party (PJ) and, last night, the police raided his apartment and took his phones, computers and other equipment to review his messages. Fernández cannot leave the country or communicate with his ex-partner.
The complaint by Yáñez, who is in Spain with their young son, comes in the context of an investigation into alleged acts of corruption in insurance matters, involving the husband of her former secretary.
Former Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who had a very difficult relationship with the former president during his term, expressed solidarity with Yáñez, believing that the former president’s behavior reveals the most sordid and dark side of the human condition and? Misogyny, machismo and hypocrisy have no partisan flag.
Everything will be seen in the case opened by Judge Julián Ercolini, who is one of the judges who make up the so-called Judicial Party, who invented cases and who should also be indicted for having gone – with other judges – to the house of Joe Lewis, accused of the amount of land purchased in Patagonia and of taking over a lake, as well as having a platform over the Atlantic where British planes can land from the base they have in Las Malvinas and, unfortunately, the use of the subject by the press and politicians does not allow justice to establish the truth.
On the other hand, the State Workers Association (ATE) denounced that the United States would take control of Military Manufacturing, located in Río Tercero, province of Córdoba, and would take charge of the metalworking sector destined to manufacture weapons for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
They also denounced that the national government wants to convert the company from a state-owned company to a public limited company, which could allow it to be sold or handed over, in this case to the United States Army.
During a national plenary session of ATE and in light of the worrying situation facing Fabricaciones Militares, it was decided that this delivery of production units would be part of the adjustment and dismantling policy of the Milei government.
On the other hand, yesterday it was revealed that the former Minister of Energy of Mauricio Macri’s government, Javier Iguacel, created a company through which he is taking over four important sectors of oil production.
Added to all this is the fact that two new shipments of gold have been sent from the Central Bank to Great Britain, which is why the government is being forced to publicly declare what is happening in this case, while the country is in economic free fall and on the verge of social collapse.
