The former dignitary, who was sentenced to life in politically banned plus six years in prison, which she is serving at home, sent a message of encouragement to a gathering of Peronista supporters gathered at the National University of Hurlingham as part of the political campaign for the legislative elections on Sunday, September 7, in the Province of Buenos Aires.

Cristina Fernandez, who remains the president of the Justicialist Party, remembered that the University of Hurlingham was the last institution of higher education created by her government at the end of her second term in 2015.

“During our administration, we created 19 universities. When we left office, on December 9, 2015, every Argentine province had a university,” Cristina Fernandez emphasized, adding that the university in Hurlingham “allowed thousands of residents throughout Greater Buenos Aires to be the first generation of university graduates in their family.”

That is why the defense of public universities is an unavoidable obligation for all of us who have had the opportunity to pursue professional training there, she added.

“As is also the case for Florencia, who today has the responsibility of heading the Fuerza Patria councilor list in Hurlingham,” she noted.

She remembered that Florencia Lampreabe, whom she described as a valuable colleague, was one of the authors of the front-of-package food labeling law as a national representative. This legislation made an exceptional and fundamental contribution to better health for all Argentines, he praised.

After highlighting the candidate’s qualities, she called on everyone to support “Flor and Fuerza Patria” at the polls.
