She and her team created the term Lawfare - they spell it in English with a capital L - and have mobilised the government to go fight for the cause.Įven as the prosecutor was outlining the newest charges, the Chief of Staff to the current President, Alberto Fernandez (no relation, but her hand-picked heir who does her bidding), took to the airwaves. If Trump has Republicans denouncing his “political persecution” that has nothing on the followers of Fernandez de Kirchner. Implausible numbers of his workers, meanwhile, were allegedly booked into hotels owned by the Kirchner family - again paid for by the state. He was always paid in record time, but often never finished the job.

The newest charges detail how a close friend and business partner allegedly took hundreds of millions of dollars of government money for road works in the Kirchners’ remote home province of Santa Cruz, overbilling by huge margins.

Then there was the driver who detailed how angry she was when he delivered just two million, in cash, not the four million expected. One of her assistants was caught red-handed throwing bags containing eight million dollars (or was it nine?) over the wall of a convent outside Buenos Aires. Donald, are you listening?įor years, tales have abounded of Cristina using power to enrich herself and others, in keeping with the actions of her late husband Nestor, President of Argentina between 20, and someone known to have sought cash while in power - not bank transfers or cheques “because then they can hound you with paper trails once you leave office.” A plain-speaking leader, so they said.Ĭome his wife’s years at the helm, the money chain became even more evident. Indeed, the Donald may have learned a lesson or three from the campaign she has waged - not just a campaign to keep herself and her children out of prison, but to use power to re-work the judiciary to her liking, in the service of her survival. What is so striking, watching the drama unfold on the other side of the world, is that Trump’s denials and counter-offensives look eerily reminiscent of the strategy employed by Ms Fernandez and her supporters. In the latest charge sheet the prosecutor has detailed alleged misuse of a billion dollars of state funds - just one of multiple cases in court against her.

Yes, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, President of Argentina from 2007-2015, now Vice President of Argentina and the person who really runs the country, has been charged with corruption on a massive scale. Just as Trump faces new investigations, over everything from espionage with classified intelligence documents to his byzantine tax affairs, so his likeness in Argentina - also a former president - squares off with a prosecutor who has just demanded that she face twelve years in prison and that she be banned from government for life. What to do? Perhaps he need look no further than crisis-ridden Argentina for a strategy. So, Donald Trump is working overtime on how best to avoid justice and return to power.
