Vino luego el exilio de Perón en España y una escalada de violencia que alcanzó su cenit con la dictadura de 1976. En 1955, la aviación de la Marina bombardeó la Plaza de Mayo en horario de oficina, con un saldo de 308 muertos. Finalmente, la advertencia de Máximo Kirchner se cumplió y las cosas terminaron mal en la noche del jueves. Por la noche, Kirchner pidió que sus seguidores pusiesen fin al sitio barrial, al tiempo que exigió a la oposición que dejase de “competir para ver quién odia más y quién le pega más a los peronistas”. Son los mismos grupos que llaman “yegua” o “chorra” a la vicepresidenta, mientras marchan con una guillotina a la que adornan con inflables con traje a rayas. “En vez de investigar seriamente un hecho de gravedad, acusa a la oposición y a la prensa, y decreta un feriado para movilizar militantes. Dijo que en Argentina existe un “partido judicial” que ha decidido proscribirla de la política, temeroso de que en 2023 sea candidata y obtenga un tercer mandato. La crispación entre kirchneristas y antikirchneristas, que lleva casi dos décadas, inició una peligrosa espiral ascendente desde que un fiscal pidiese el pasado 22 de agosto 12 años de cárcel contra Kirchner por presunta corrupción durante sus dos Gobiernos (2007-2015). Al filo de la medianoche del jueves, el presidente decretó festivo nacional para que la gente pudiese sumarse a las manifestaciones de repudio.

El intento de asesinato de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner mantendrá su figura en el centro de la grieta que lleva veinte años arruinando el país.

La estrategia de Cristina Fernández y los suyos es, desde hace años, la victimización: los malos nos temen, nos odian, nos atacan, eso demuestra que hacemos cosas buenas. El peronismo en el gobierno rechaza –a priori– las decisiones de la justicia: la institucionalidad básica del país. Que la violencia armada se agregue a las pequeñas violencias cotidianas que la Argentina practica demasiado es una novedad horrible –aunque todo parece indicar que este es un caso aislado, la locura de un tonto. Espero que la Argentina sea lo suficientemente razonable como para no caer también en esta trampa. En este caso, el azar y la estupidez del agresor fueron clementes.)
