Vamos a evaluarlo en su momento”.
Con ello, la candidata también sostuvo que existe “cada vez menos” el anticomunismo.
“Creo además que, si bien persiste en algunos el anticomunismo, a quienes llamo de todas formas a tratar de sanar su corazón, porque basar una visión política en el odio a los demás realmente no contribuye en nada”, agregó.
