Upon leaving the Patria Institute, the former president referred to the entire political leadership and requested a “deeper commitment”, because “the people are suffering a lot.”

Along these lines, he vindicated Mugica. “Today I wanted to remember Father Mugica because he is an example of this. He knew that he had been threatened with death. Those of us who have witnessed closely the experience of someone who wants to kill you know that everything can be overcome., The important thing is strength and conviction. The worst thing we can do is bow our heads before what is happening. There we will lose,” he said.

“These levels of ‘I don’t care’ are not unprecedented,” Christina warned.

“In our neighborhood we hear this every day They don’t send food to the canteen and they don’t have money to buy food, I listen to the media and my coworkers all the time. In such a situation, how is it possible that these things are supported?” CFK asked itself.

The former president commented that “After Mugica’s death there was a time when there was tremendous violence in Argentina and large sectors of society ignored it and said even worse things like ‘he must have done something’ or ‘they must have killed him’ Must have been taken for some reason. ,

In that sense, he explained: “Those of us who have lived through political extremism can offer that look. It is a look of hope, there were also difficult moments. There was fear, disappearances, death and planned suffering. These moments of cruelty and individualism do not go unpunished”.

At the beginning of his speech CFK briefly reviewed the life of Father Mugica in the women’s hall of the Patria Institute, saying that “Here we remember the martyrdom of Carlos Mugica.”

“For me he is a contemporary, he was our contemporary. No matter how hard he tries, it is impossible to reduce his image to a smaller image. He was not even a village priest.” He was a man who was from the upper class of Buenos Aires, obviously deeply anti-Peronist, but he understood the gospel and had no choice but to become a Peronist, a villero, and an advocate for the poor.” he commented.

And he added: “Mugika smelled like sheep, he was a shepherd who smelled like sheep. It is true that there are some in the hierarchy who smell more like wolves.”
