'To think that the government is invincible is ridiculous,' Carrió

Civic Coalition leader Elisa Carrió stated that “now that former President Néstor Kirchner has passed away, the ruling party will not even gather a 20 percent of the votes in the next October presidential elections,” and repeated that “thinking that the current government is invincible is ridiculous.”

“Any candidate from to the ruling party will gather less than 20 percent of the votes. This is the truth,” she said.

Carrió then assured that “back in 2009, 70 percent of the people voted against the leader, Néstor Kirchner, not against the leader’s widow. And now that the leader is dead they expect their party to gather more than 20 or 30 percent of the votes?”

The Civic Coalition leader also discredited polls favouring President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s reelection. “They are being paid to say that,” she accused.

“Miss Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is paying large sums of money to pollsters,” the lawmaker said.

Carrió said she is “fed up with the Justicialist Party and corrupt unions.”
