Overview
- Court records show Judge Karina Alonso Candis denied the precautionary request, finding the claim mirrors the case’s core issues and lacks the manifest urgency required for interim relief.
- Officials said ANSES and the Ministry of Capital Humano will move to recover roughly ARS 1,000 million previously paid under the suspended benefits.
- ANSES had halted both the presidential lifetime benefit and the widow’s pension in November 2024 after Cristina Kirchner’s Vialidad conviction was affirmed by the Casación court and later by the Supreme Court.
- Kirchner’s filing argued the benefits could only be revoked by impeachment, cited a prior ruling on compatibility, and claimed the suspension jeopardizes her subsistence as she has no other income.
- ANSES maintains the benefits are discretionary ‘asignaciones graciables’ tied to honor and merit, and the underlying lawsuit over the legality of the suspensions remains pending.
