Overview

• The collective Argentina con Cristina announced a free public festival in La Boca on Sunday, Aug. 31, under the banner “Cristina Libre.”
• The event is scheduled near Plaza de la Usina from 14:00 with live bands, a fair, open workshops and performances.
• Organizers describe the festival as “por la libertad y la democracia,” highlighting support for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
• This will be the second gathering under the slogan since the former president began serving a six-year sentence under house arrest.
• At the previous event in June, Kirchner asked supporters to shift a planned banderazo from her Constitución home to Parque Lezama after denouncing a police operation without a court order, which she called a provocation by Security Minister Patricia Bullrich.
