The President of Argentina, Alberto Fernandez, has assured this Tuesday before the UN General Assembly that the assassination attempt against Vice-President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner sought to "alter democracy".
The President of Argentina, Alberto Fernandez -
"In Argentina, the attempt to assassinate the vice president not only affected public tranquility. It also sought to alter a virtuous collective construction that next year will celebrate four decades of life," he said, thanking "the solidarity" that the country has received "from the whole world" after the attack, as reported by 'La Nación'.
Speaking in New York before the United Nations General Assembly, in what was his first intervention before the world forum, Fernandez said that "many times in history, assassinations have been prologues of great tragedies" and "entire peoples succumbed behind those prophets of hatred".
"I am sure that the fascist violence that disguises itself as republicanism will not succeed in changing this broad consensus to which the vast majority of Argentine society adheres," she added, as reported by the Télam agency.
In this sense, he warned that extremist and violent discourses have found "fertile ground to sow anti-political sentiment", and he scorned that "those who seek to weaken" democracies "have specific interests that lead them to promote extreme polarization".
"Let us not accept this situation with resignation. Let us generate an energetic global rejection of those who promote division in our communities," said Fernandez.

ARGENTINA ASKS THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR A DIALOGUE ON THE MALVINAS
On the other hand, Fernandez has taken advantage of the UN General Assembly to ask the United Kingdom to resume dialogues to address the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands.
According to Télam, the Argentine president reaffirmed the country's "legitimate and imprescriptible sovereignty rights" over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas.
He also denounced that the United Kingdom "aggravated the controversy" with an "unjustified and excessive military presence in the islands" and with "calls for the illegal exploitation of resources". However, it has expressed its willingness to resume "negotiations" with London.
"We request the Secretary General to renew his efforts in the fulfillment of that mandate and that the United Kingdom agrees to abide by the call of the international community and put an end to this anachronistic colonial situation", emphasized Fernandez, reiterating to the British Government to comply with UN resolution 31/49, which calls for the decolonization of the Malvinas Islands.
