 Cristina Fernández de Kirchner at the UN General Assembly | |
| Date | September 24, 2014 (2014-09-24) |
|---|---|
| Location | United Nations |
| Participants | Cristina Fernández de Kirchner |
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, president of Argentina, spoke to the UN general assembly on 24 September 2014.
Kirchner speech has been dismissed as being “completely out of touch with reality” and for having made up various conspiracy theories.
Content
Her speech included a variety of issues. She claimed Argentina had now a low debt after the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression and a significant growth rate and most of its creditors would have been satisfied (compare Argentine debt restructuring). Kirchner criticized what she describes as vulture funds and accused them as "economic terrorists". She tried as well to defend the political handling of the 1992 attack on Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 AMIA bombing attacks. Kirchner criticized Argentine Jewish leaders for "not respecting" a treaty with Iran, which had been deeemed to support the attacks but nevertheless had been invited on a "joint investigation" by Argentine officials. Her claims of a "Jewish conspiracy" have been critized and ridiculed.
Kirchner went so far to claim a friendship with Pope Francis, which as a cleric, was one of her political arch enemies and to have received a threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant jihadist group therefore. Kirchner's claims about the Argentine judiciary was investigating the alleged threats have not been confirmed. Carlos Pagni, from La Nación, dismissed the controversy as absurd and saw a "unconcealable pirouette" of Krichner.
