Gobierno argentino rechaza investigación internacional por el caso Nisman,
Porque Rechaza que esconde, a que le teme,
porque ese miedo si el que no la debe no la teme?
El jefe de Gabinete argentino, Jorge Capitanich, rechazó este viernes la “investigación internacional” propuesta por el senador estadounidense Marco Rubio al presidente de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, por la muerte del fiscal Alberto Nisman.
El funcionario argentino remarcó que Argentina es un país “autónomo soberano e independiente” y que los comentarios de Rubio tienen una “visión imperial” que “desconoce el principio de autodeterminación de los pueblos”.
Rubio, presidente del subcomité para el Hemisferio Occidental del Senado de Estados Unidos, envió el jueves una carta al secretario de Estado estadounidense, John Kerry, donde afirmó estar “cada vez más preocupado por la capacidad del gobierno de Argentina para llevar a cabo una pesquisa justa e imparcial”.
El fiscal Nisman, que investigaba el atentado contra la AMIA, murió de un tiro en la cabeza en circunstancias aún sin aclarar, la víspera de acudir al Congreso para detallar la denuncia contra la presidenta, Cristina Fernández, presentada cuatro días antes por un presunto encubrimiento de los sospechosos iraníes del ataque, que dejó 85 muertos en 1994.
Capitanich calificó la petición del senador republicano estadounidense como una “intromisión indebida propia de una actitud imperial que representa a la más recalcitrante derecha republicana”.
Además, rechazó “intromisiones para dirimir” la investigación que se sigue en el país suramericano sobre la muerte del fiscal Alberto Nisman.
Cristina Kirchner, the President of Argentina, is currently dealing with one of the worst political crises of a presidency marked by flailing public support, and a grim economic outlook. Jewish prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead in his apartment early Monday morning in what was first debated to be a suicide, and now has been called a murder by Kirchner herself.
Alberto’s death came only hours before he was set to testify that Kirchner had bargained a trade deal with Iran in exchange for erasing the Shiite Muslim country’s ties to a terrorist bombing that killed scores of Jewish citizens in Buenos Aires in 1994, as previously reported by the Inquisitr.
Tens of thousands of Argentines took to the street the day the news broke to voice their position that Alberto’s blood was on Kirchner’s hands, but those protests have also been met with the opposition of Cristina’s adamant supporters — some of whom claim that the entire ordeal is a conspiracy against their president
The case — which has seized the Argentine media’s unwavering attention — sees constant new developments. Kirchner’s newest statement was released in English, which indicates she is feeling international pressure on the issue, according to a Friday English-language podcast summarizing the Nisman debacle from The Bubble.
That letter, published in full on Cristina’s official website, notes that before Alberto’s death, several publications — including The Buenos Aires Herald, which broke the news of Nisman’s death — had already published editorials saying that Alberto’s accusations held little weight. Kirchner instead points to rogue agents as the possible culprits in Nisman’s murder.
“Prosecutor Nisman’s accusation was never, in itself, the true operation against the Government. It was bound to fall apart after the very first steps. Nisman did not know this —he probably never did. The true operation against the Government was the Prosecutor’s death after accusing the President, the Foreign Minister, and the Secretary General of La Cámpora of being accessories to the Iranians accused of the terrorist bombing of AMIA.”
That “true operation” was a part of widespread intelligence agency conspiracy against the president, according to the letter. Chief of Staff, Aníbal Fernandez, told Reuters that those rogue agents fed evidence to Alberto in order to rile up a case against Cristina.
“When he was alive they needed him to present the charges against the president. Then, undoubtedly, it was useful to have him dead.”
Saturday’s most prominent development in the case was the fleeing of Damián Pachter — the journalist who first broke the case — after hearing from a close source that his life may be in danger. In his final interview before his hasty exit, he told The Bubble that even he had not yet decided what the link was between Kirchner and Nisman’s death.
“There is a connection between these events; this is not just one mysterious episode. It is more complex. I will pass judgement when I have the results of the official investigation.”
Cristina Kirchner is now facing calls for an international investigation into Alberto Nisman’s death. The whole ordeal comes with less than a year remaining for Cristina as Argentine head of state.
President Kirchner to dissolve Argentine intelligence service after prosecutor death
Cristina Kirchner announces draft bill to dissolve the intelligence agency amid government suspicions rogue agents were behind the murky death of a state prosecutor

Alberto Nisman, 51, was found dead on January 18 in the apartment, the day before he was scheduled to elaborate on explosive allegations that Mrs Kirchner shielded Iranian officials suspected in the largest terrorist attack in the South American country's history.
During her hour-long speech, Mrs Kirchner called on Congress to dissolve the country's current intelligence services. She said that reforming the clandestine services was a "national debt" the South American country has had since the return of democracy in 1983.
While government officials had labeled as absurd Nisman's allegations that Mrs Kirchner had reached a secret deal with Iran in exchange for economic benefits, Monday's speech was the first time Mrs Kirchner had taken them on directly.
"It's unreasonable to think our government could even be suspected of such a maneuver," said Mrs Kirchner, who spoke while sitting in a wheelchair because of a fractured ankle.
Nisman, 51, was found dead Jan. 18 in the bathroom in his apartment, a bullet in his right temple. A .22 caliber gun was found next to him. The next day he was scheduled to elaborate on his explosive allegations.
Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner has called on Congress to dissolve the country's current intelligence services, in her first public comments since the mysterious death of a prosecutor rocked the country.
Mrs. Kirchner said that she planned to dissolve the intelligence services announced a draft bill to dissolve the domestic intelligence agency amid government suspicions rogue agents were behind the murky death of a state prosecutor investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre.
His death has produced anti-government protests and a myriad of conspiracy theories, ranging from suicide to the involvement of Iranian intelligence agents.
Appearing rested and calm, Mrs Kirchner began with a spirited defense of all her government had done to try to solve the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center that left 85 dead and more than 200 injured.
She lamented that more than 20 years later nobody had been convicted or even detained. She noted that her predecessor, husband and former President Nestor Kirchner, had appointed Nisman to the case after years of paralysis.
She said a 2013 memorandum of understanding with Iran, which many in the country have bitterly criticized, was aimed at obtaining cooperation with the Middle Eastern powerhouse to finally seek justice for the bombing. Iran has repeatedly denied any involvement.
Mrs Kirchner said a reform of the intelligence services would be presented to Congress by the end of this week. She said the structure of a new "Federal Intelligence Agency" would have a director and deputy, and only a few in government would have access to the agency heads, apparently a critique of a system where many in Congress - including opposition parties - have contact with intelligence officials.
Employing the fiery rhetoric she is known for, at the end of her speech she looked directly into the camera and said in a stern tone that she had a message for her countrymen.
"I will not be extorted, I am not afraid" of being called cited by judges or denounced by investigators, she said. "They will not make me move even a centimeter from what I have always thought."
