Luis D’elia acknowledges his relationship with Kirchner is going through a rough patch
Protest leader Luis D’Elia gave an interview at a San Luis province radio station, acknowledging that his relationship with former President Néstor Kirchner is not going through its best times.
After a difficult week, during which the president asked him to call off the massive demonstration he was organizing together with unionist Hugo Moyano, and his aggressive statements against TV celebrities Mirtha Legrand, Susana Gimenez and especially Marcelo Tinelli, with whom he had engaged in a bitter verbal battle, D’Elia’s statements had a note of keen resentment towards former president Nestor Kirchner.
In conversation with journalist Alberto Trombetta, D’Elia acknowledged that he had repeatedly tried to talk with the former head of PJ but it was not possible. Kirchner’s refusal to talk with D’Elia shows signs of a crack in the relationship between the National Government and the social leader.
This is confirmed by the statements of the Chief of Cabinet, Anibal Fernandez, who said D’Elia is not part of the government.
Very different was the relationship during the presidency of Cristina Fernandez’s husband, as D’Elia says there was a time “Kirchner for three years, four times a week, got up and the first number he would dial he was mine.”
He added: “I was sort of an unofficial spokesman. The fellow they fired the other day, Miguel Nunez, should pay me the salary because I did that job for over three years. “
With a hint of melancholy, D’Elia described the tasks, that at the time the head of state entrusted him every morning. He would tell him to treat a particular topic and then D’Elia prepared a communication strategy.
With a note of sarcasm, he said: “The truth is that this boy didn’t do that bad with me as his spokesman.”
Finally, when asked if Kirchner’s debacle began when he stopped playing that role, he replied: “Look … with me he was doing great.”
