accusing him of being lukewarm and “playing the fool”

The position of the Alberto Fernández government at the international level obviously annoys the regime of Nicolás Maduro, which expects greater support from the Argentine, which it would not receive.

Hours after the Mercosur presidents summit, which took place virtually on Wednesday and during which Argentina assumed the pro tempore presidency of the bloc, the strongman of the Chavist government, Diosdado Cabello, He called Fernández “lukewarm” and “playing the fool”.

President of the Constituent Assembly of Chavista – which is not recognized by much of the international community – Cabello He also claimed that Chief Jujuy of Tupac Amaru, Milagro Sala, continue prey

“Alberto Fernandez: his skin is delicate, I am fortunately free, Mr. Fernandez. It is sad that on the stage where Venezuela and Argentina went together, now the lukewarmness leads to parting,” he said started by saying Wednesday night in his traditional televised monologue. , as in a tone of complaint that in this reissue of Kirchnerism under the mandate of Alberto F., the alliance between Caracas and Buenos Aires with the government of Nestor and Cristina Kirchner does not prevail.

“The Argentine president doesn’t like to be called lukewarm, but he does He likes to be crazy when they call out Venezuela’s dictatorship and his Minister of Foreign Affairs (Felipe Solá) whenever he can, he declares against Venezuela. They know that there is no dictatorship here, a president has won here as he has won there and we demand respect, ”he said.

“Do not disturb Mr. Fernández, if you are lukewarm, get sick, we in Venezuela are hot revolutionaries, we are boiling. We do not walk with half measures or with si guabineo, here in Venezuela, if you do not know what guabineo is (going around) someone will surely explain, ”he added.

This is not the first time that Cabello, elected deputy in the controversial legislative elections of December 6, has insulted Fernández. Maduro also insulted him.

“In 2009, we still had friendly governments. I am not saying peoples; governments. Because there is the Argentine people, to whom I send my embrace, affection and respect,” Cabello said at the beginning of December. because Argentina was accompanying the demands at the United Nations against the violations of human rights in Venezuela.

In recent days, other events have also taken place. The prosecution of the International Criminal Court in The Hague said there was “sufficient evidence” to open an investigation in UN courts against civilian and military officials of the regime – which may include Maduro as well as Cabello . for crimes against humanity. Fernández did not say anything, but he also did not withdraw a complaint that Argentina had filed under the government of Mauricio Macri in 2018, and which are the basis of this statement by the prosecution.

The OAS refrained from condemning the December 6 elections, which for sectors in Argentina was not to condemn Maduro, but for Chavismo it was to criticize him. In Caracas, they expected a position contrary to this condemnation of the OAS, as did Bolivia and Mexico.

Fernández goes back and forth between Christianity allied to the Chavist regime and which is part of the Frente de Todos coalition, and the position of Western democracies increasingly critical of Chavism.

Caracas He expected Fernández to call for Venezuela’s return to Mercosur on Wednesday. But the Argentinian was careful to ask for the inclusion of Bolivia as a full member, but not Caracas. Venezuela was incorporated in 2012 as a full member in a political decision without too much technical analysis, and was suspended from the bloc in 2017 for events related to human rights violations.

“Milagro Sala is still in jail, okay. Four years with Macri and one with Mr. Fernández, and nothing is happening in the Argentinian justice system,” he said on Wednesday, coinciding with Christianity, which calls for his release. Moreover, the Minister of Defense, Agustín Rossi, has just visited him, causing an internal surprise among his own forces.
