...wide majority, some opposition voices cast doubt on the conspiracy theory. Maria Estenssoro of the Civic Coalition said that "ranting at the empire is just a smokescreen. The problem isn't a trash operation from the U.S., the problem is the trash campaigns at home." Civic Coalition party leader Elisa Carrio, Fernandez's rival in October's presidential elections, said that "the United States is not responsible for the crimes of corruption committed by the governments of Venzuela and Argentina...
