CFK to Moyano: 'No one is going to pressure me'

After the first national strike against her administration, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner gave a strong speech against the CGT and CTA-led protest. “This wasn’t a strike no a picket but an intimidation and a threat,” he assured and warned that “no one is going to pressure her.”

“No one is going to pressure me, especially with threats, bullying or thugs. These are not the leaders that Perón and Evita wanted,” she said in a rally honouring Sovereignty Day.

She also said that when she heard a group of protesters had attacked the iconic Café Tortoni she was not surprised because “they are the same who burned the ballot boxes in Catamarca,” in reference to the leader of the restaurant workers’ union, Luis Barrionuevo.
