The former president reacted to the comments of a U.S. citizen who does not hide his imperial intentions.

On Wednesday, former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez responded to grotesque remarks made by Peter Lamelas, President Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Argentina.

In a prior appearance before the U.S. Senate, Lamelas acknowledged that his diplomatic mission would include monitoring developments in Argentine provinces rich in natural resources, particularly those attracting Chinese and other foreign investors. He also stated that he would ensure that Fernandez receives the justice she deserves.

In response, Cristina Fernandez, who is under home prison in Buenos Aires, posted the following message on social media:

“Lamelas or Argentina!”

“Yesterday, we saw and heard Mr. Lamelas, Trump’s nominee to serve as U.S. ambassador to our country, saying he is coming to Argentina to ‘monitor the governors,’ to ‘block agreements with China,’ and—just in case anyone still wonders why I am imprisoned—to ‘make sure CFK receives the justice she deserves.’

What a level of obsession, bro… As if our judicial system were not already remote-controlled enough, they’re sending us a new plenipotentiary prosecutor straight from Mar-a-Lago. The only thing he didn’t say was that he would appoint judges himself. Not even Monroe went that far.

Meanwhile, Trump, who took office with 24 criminal charges, still has not fulfilled his promise to reveal the names on Epstein’s list in the cases involving pedophilia, child corruption, and sexual abuse… Nor has the U.S. judicial system investigated Epstein’s convenient ‘suicide.’ Maybe they should clean their own house before commenting on ours.

As if that weren’t enough, he also said his mission is to support Milei’s victory in the October elections—’the midterms,’ as he called them.

Just like Kristalina at the International Monetary Fund, who has already made it clear that Argentines ‘must vote the right way.’

As you can see… it’s not the Milei brothers who are running the campaign—it’s Washington and the IMF.

In the end, all that talk about ‘The Forces of Heaven’ and the ‘Evil’ tweeters was just for show… Take note: the ones truly running Milei’s Argentina are ‘The Forces of the North.’

It’s clear that what Trump, Milei, and the IMF really fear is Argentine democracy. What bothers them is that the people can vote for whomever they choose.

We always knew Milei needed some kind of professional oversight and support… but this wasn’t exactly what we meant.

P.S. 1: Mr. Lamelas talks about monitoring democratically elected Argentine governors for corruption in investment deals with China. Will he also monitor the Argentine businessman tied to Chinese firms who controls the country’s telecommunications monopoly and celebrated July 4th at the U.S. embassy?

P.S. 2: As you can see… nothing new under the sun. Exactly 80 years ago it was Braden or Peron. Now it’s…

Lamelas or Argentina. You choose.”
