Rubio: Argentina’s Election A Chance For Improved U.S. Relations & Justice For Victims Of 1994 Jewish Center Terror Attack

Nov 23, 2015 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues, today issued the following statement regarding the results of Argentina’s presidential election on Sunday:
 
“I congratulate the Argentine people and president-elect Mauricio Macri for a successful election in Argentina. The country has clearly chosen a new direction.
 
“For the first time in many years, the United States has an opportunity to work with Argentina’s leaders in supporting democracy and human rights, and in championing freedom throughout the Western Hemisphere. With this election result, I also hope that a fair and impartial investigation can finally be conducted into the mysterious death of Alberto Nisman, the Argentine prosecutor who was investigating Iran’s involvement in the bombing of a Jewish community center that killed 85 people in 1994. Justice for Mr. Nisman and for the victims of the 1994 terrorist attack is long overdue.
 
“As Florida’s senator, I am proud to represent many Argentines who call Florida home. The United States should stand ready to help Argentina re-establish its natural and rightful place among the region’s political and economic leaders. It is my sincere hope that we can once again revive the strong and mutually beneficial relationship that we have enjoyed in the past.”
