Argentine Vice President Cristina Kirchner receives death threat

Vice President Cristina Kirchner received another death threat this Monday through a call to the 911 emergency telephone line, as confirmed by the federal judge investigating the attack against the former president.

Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti ordered a reinforcement in the custody of the vice president and head of the Senate and, at the same time, decreed the secrecy of the case against Fernando Sabag Montiel and Brenda Uliarte.

According to what was reported, the threatening phone call was made from the city of La Plata, and neither the precise identity of the person who made the call nor the exact place from where the call was made is known.

In the same sense, it was learned that the Government is analyzing the measures to be taken to guarantee the Vice President’s safety given the call that promised to kill Cristina Kirchner.

The Minister of National Security, Aníbal Fernández, assured on Tuesday in a press conference that “nothing should be minimized because otherwise, this is how later one starts to worry about the things he did not do when he should have done them”.

After the arrest of Fernando Sabag Montiel and Brenda Uliarte, Justice is advancing in several lines of investigation, one of which would involve the vice-president’s neighbor, Ximena de Tezanos Pinto.

On the night of September 1, the vice president was the target of a failed attempt on her life when Sabag Montiel fired a gun from which no shots were fired.
