00:00And in other topics, in Argentina, the Taxi Drivers Union demonstrated Sunday in support of former President Cristina FernĂĄndez de Kirchner.
00:08The taxi drivers gathered outside her home in the Recoleta neighborhood in Buenos Aires, having been found guilty of defrauding the state.
00:17The former president is currently under house arrest, waiting for a decision on her appeal request.
00:21The taxi drivers expressed her support and called for her exoneration, claiming she has been a victim of political, media and judicial persecution orchestrated by concentrated economic power.
00:34The former president saluted the crowd, waving from her balcony, amid chants and applause in support of her.
00:40And what we wanted to do today is to express, in principle, our gratitude to Cristina, because in the cab, in our activity, the cab workers have class consciousness.
00:57We have lived the best years in the history of the cab.
01:00I will give you to average data.
01:02Every three and a half years the 0 km cars were renewed, today you cannot change a car.
01:07Secondly, you had to open six or seven hours, and you had enough and enough to live well, the first one.
01:15And the second one, which is the most important, that we absolutely consider that the sentence is arbitrary, that she needs immediate freedom, because she is innocent.
01:24There are many of our comrades who belong to Peronism, and we recognize that the best years we had with the three or four years old cars, we had a good level of revenue that allowed us to have an activity in full progress, a good job stability.
01:43And, well, no liberalism came with its usual policies, even in Ober's paperwork it appeared how they wanted to enter the continent, when the right-wing won.
01:53Because before it was not politically convenient for them, they were going to have many obstacles and the regulation really affected our activity to a greater extent.
