Ricardo Quintela: «The country is governed today by a structure of criminals and fraudsters»

The governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela , denounced that the National Government has a debt of almost 700 million dollars with the province and launched harsh criticism against officials and legislators, whom he accused of spreading false information .

« La Rioja is owed almost 700 million dollars and yet some shameless people from La Rioja come here to tell lies, » Quintela said at a press conference. He also challenged those who criticize him: « They cannot justify everything they say. If they could, they would have already filed complaints, because what they like most is filing complaints and putting people in jail .»

In his statements, the president also targeted, without naming him directly, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem , and other local leaders, accusing them of not having defended the interests of the province. " It is important that the people of La Rioja know and that those who voted for them go and demand answers from them. They have voted to be better off and not to be worse off ," he stressed.

Finally, Quintela harshly questioned the government of Javier Milei , which he described as a 'structure of criminals and swindlers' . " The one that governs the country today is a structure of criminals and swindlers, headed by the president ," said the governor of La Rioja, intensifying the political confrontation with the national administration.
