Overview
- Federal Social Security Judge Karina Alonso Candis rejected Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s bid to provisionally reinstate the widow’s pension of Néstor Kirchner.
- ANSES had suspended both her widow’s pension and the lifetime presidential allowance in November 2024 via Resolution 1092 following the confirmation of her Vialidad conviction.
- The Ministry of Capital Humano and ANSES will pursue recovery of roughly 1,000 million pesos paid before the suspensions.
- The ruling cited the presumption of validity of administrative acts and found no clear showing of right or risk from delay to justify interim payments.
- ANSES argues the benefits are non‑contributory graces under Law 24.018 tied to honor and good performance, while her defense claims the cuts violate acquired rights and that the law allows revocation only through impeachment; the underlying lawsuit on the merits continues.
