Macri: “The metrodelegados are a creation of Kirchnerism”

Buenos Aires, August 10, 2012

The mayor of Buenos Aires Mauricio Macri gave a surprise press conference, where he sharply criticized President Cristina Kirchner in the context of the unprecedented strike in the subway, which reached its eighth day.

The official said the conflict is purely political conflict and that “metrodelegados (subway unionists) are a creation of Kirchnerism.”

In addition Macri said, “A few months ago the President said ‘we want all’; now clear to me that she wants a Chavez model of thought. And beware that you can think of dissent. “

In this sense, the mayor added that “she seeks to subdue those who think differently.” “The subway is not an isolated event; add the City Bank conflict, increased electricity, the withdrawal of police from hospitals and schools. “
