The vice president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández, returned to social networks this Monday, from which he had been absent for hours before the attack he suffered on September 1, and linked the editorial of a newspaper with the “hate speeches” indicated as the engines of the attack by the ruling party.

The also former president (2007-2015) published the cover of the newspaper Clarín on Twitter and highlighted the title of the editorial in red: “The bullet that did not come out and the ruling that will come out”, alluding to the attack from which she emerged unharmed and the trial who is going through alleged irregularities in the concession of public works during his mandates.
Cristina Fernández suffered an attack on the 1st.| September, when a man twice triggered a gun, centimeters from her face, while the vice president greeted her followers stationed in a vigil at the doors of her house, in the capital’s Recoleta neighborhood.
Since that same day, when the vice president invited a proselytizing act for two days later that was finally canceled as a result of the attack suffered, Fernández had been absent from social networks.

The last time she was seen in public was the day after the attack, when she left her house and briefly greeted supporters who were stationed outside the building.
One of the vice president’s lawyers, Gregorio Dalbon, added that “those who know and publish should be summoned to trial, at least they must give the reason for their statements,” retweeting Cristina Fernández’s message.
The attack on Cristina Fernández took place in a context of strong political tension between the ruling party and the opposition, that grew since last August 22, when a prosecutor requested for her a sentence of 12 years in prison and disqualification from holding public office, within the framework of the oral trial to which she is subjected.

The same night of the attack, President Alberto Fernández indicated that democratic coexistence had been “broken by the hate speech that has spread from different political, judicial and media spaces.”
Since then, several leaders related to Cristina Fernández have linked the progress of the cases in the Justice and the attack suffered by the vice president with the “stigmatization” and “disqualification” that is made in the media and have even proposed a law to regulate “hate speech”, although it was later dismissed.
