The leader of the Left Front and former national deputy Myriam Bregman participated this Friday night in the A24 program hosted by Pablo Caruso, where she was interviewed about the complaint for gender violence against former president Alberto Fernández, made by her former partner and former first lady, Fabiola Yáñez. There, she assured that during Alberto Fernández’s government there was a “political use of the struggle of women” and emphasized: “If we now talk about gender violence, it is because of our struggle.”
“Now it comes back like a boomerang on Alberto Fernández, on his political party, his entourage, because well, how? Wasn’t it that we women had returned? Wasn’t it that patriarchy had ended? Wasn’t it that one ministry was enough? It seems not,” she said.
She also denounced that in our country there is a femicide every 29 hours, while the current administration of Javier Milei’s government dismantled state policies against gender-based violence. “What the right is doing seems like a manipulation to me, it must be discussed. A government that is constantly attacking, that is misogynistic, and has always been, cannot talk about women’s rights. The deputies who go to Ezeiza to visit genocides, go to visit rapists, are accused of rape. In many cases they have no conviction, but Justice does not advance quickly in sexual crimes as it has advanced in other types of torture,” she added.
“I’m not going to say that I’m surprised by AF’s attitude or that I’ve now discovered his double standards, as I now know that if we’re talking about gender violence it’s because of our fight. Just as he created the Ministry of Women, later with Nicolás del Caño when we were deputies we had to discuss the budget every year because the Ministry of Women and the Ministry of Culture were the ones with the smallest budget. One thing is to create a ministry and another is to give it enough budget so that the necessary policies can be had, in a country where the majority of women who suffer gender violence cannot leave their homes because they don’t have the financial means, because it’s hard for them to support their children, because they can’t find a vacancy, because there are no shelters or places to go in our country.
On the other hand, he referred to Javier Milei’s tweet where he vindicates the Minister of Human Capital Pettovello for having started the investigation into the irregularities of the insurance companies during the Kirchner administration. “Pettovello takes food away from women, children and girls in our country. If there is something I would not call Pettovello a model of feminism,” Bregman crossed him.
“Just as I am very critical of the right, I also don’t want the youngest girls, those of the green wave, those who made a change of conscience without which we wouldn’t be talking about this, to be told that they have to go after characters like these, to be told that they have to give up rights because otherwise they play into the hands of the right. Who plays into the hands of the right? Is it machismo, AF’s beatings of his wife? Or the girls who march in the streets? We mustn’t give money to the right, we mustn’t tell the girls that they have to put up with an Alperovich.”
On the other hand, she pointed out: “There are many who take advantage of the moment to take stock of whether we vote or not, I am not wrong when I say who to vote for, do you think this is the time? Or is it the time to never again ask women to resign themselves, to never ask them to leave the streets?”
🔴 GENDER VIOLENCE IN OLIVOS
“Alberto made great use of the women’s fight,” said Myriam Bregman.
“If we talk about gender violence, it is because of our struggle,” she continued.
