Overview
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner sent a recorded six‑minute audio to the 38th Plurinational Women’s and Diversities Meeting in Corrientes from her Buenos Aires residence, where she serves house arrest.
- She argued that her detention and proscription are “the perfect and disciplining metaphor” of an Argentina with shrinking prospects, and said many citizens are “deprived of freedom” by debt, job loss and falling incomes.
- The audio was played at a dedicated “Plaza Cristina Libre” space before thousands of supporters who displayed banners and chants calling for her release.
- Federal Judge Jorge Gorini recently tightened her visitation regime to two days per week with a maximum of three visitors for two hours, a move taken after a widely publicized meeting with nine economists at her home.
- Kirchner, convicted in the Vialidad case and disqualified from office under a six‑year sentence, urged collective action and cited El Eternauta’s line “No one saves themselves alone,” as her defense prepares to appeal to the Supreme Court.
