Christina Kirchner speaks at the World Human Rights Forum | The vice president reappears in CCK

As for Correa, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner “would be great if she was a candidate.”

“It would be great” if Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was a “candidate” in Argentina’s October elections, former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said, while calling her a “giant of history.”

“She always lives in threat, danger, scrutiny, bad faith; however, it would be good if she were a candidate,” Correa said in statements to the press at the Casa Rosada, upon entering the original People’s Hall. Grupo de Puebla to participate in the Progressive Forum, which was discussed in the presence of President Alberto Fernández.

When asked if he believed Fernandez de Kirchner could be a candidate, the former president of Ecuador replied, “Hopefully, it’s a historic pleasure.”

In this regard, he opined that “Giants of history like Christina are passionately loved by many, sadly hated by some, but no one can be indifferent.”

Asked about the rapprochement between President Alberto Fernández and his Brazilian counterpart, Lula da Silva, he said: “Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America and one of the largest in the world, Argentina is third.”

“That proximity can do a lot of good for Latin America and they have already taken the first steps with a common currency for exchange,” analyzed the former Ecuadorian president.

At the same time, he clarified that “it is not a physical currency, it is an accounting currency, to exchange between the two countries and to reduce the use of additional regional currency such as the dollar”, and assessed it as “absurd” for the US to use it. currency in the region.

Meanwhile, recalling the diplomatic incident between Ecuador and Argentina – both countries expelled their respective ambassadors over the case of former asylum seeker Maria (de los Angeles) Duarte (Besandes), Correa declared: “I am dying as an Ecuadorian. I want to apologize for the shame.”

On this issue, he pointed out that “he was first a refugee and then a political asylum from Argentina at the Consular House, not as a choice, but as a duty to comply with the Caracas Agreement.”

In this sense, he elaborated: “It is not an obligation, it is an option to provide the safe conduct requested by the Argentine government. (President Guillermo) Lasso, who is holding her hostage in the embassy in foreign custody. Patrol cars without a single battery, no communication or gasoline, he departs in his own way and when he realizes that they are expelling the messenger”.

Likewise, Correa described the situation as “madness” and wondered: “If your tooth hurts, go to a gynecologist, it’s ridiculous, I’m dying of shame, I apologize.”

Meanwhile, General Laura Richardson, head of the US Southern Command, was blunt when asked about the reports a few days ago: “It’s terrible, he doesn’t look like it anymore,” she said.

Richardson, at an Atlantic Council event, asked himself, “Why is Latin America so important,” and answered that “60% of the world’s lithium is found in the triangle of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile” when considering geopolitics.

Correa evaluated in this regard, “It is clear that his foreign policy, especially to Latin America, is terrible and all the direct and indirect interventions, invasions, dictatorships or democracies, the common denominator is not democracy, but the protection of their interests”.
