Former Argentinian president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was the victim of resistance to the house | Short news

The demonstrators denounced the chief’s imprisonment and the ban on the public service as an act of political retribution.

A Federal Court in Argentina granted the former president Cristina Fernandez to Kirchner a residual residence to serve her six -year sentence for corruption accusations.

On Tuesday, the court decided that the age and visibility of Fernandez, aged 72, as a political figure, were making homeglass a reasonable option for his confinement.

Only three years ago, in 2022, the popular left leader faced an assassination attempt, in which a attacker targeted a pistol on his head. The court cited such dangers in its decision, claiming that Fernandez’s security “would become complex in a situation of prison detention in coexistence with any type of prison population”.

It is not uncommon for the courts in Argentina to also allow residence for advanced age.

The former residual residence of the former president must start immediately, tried the court. He also explained that she would be subject to electronic surveillance. She will serve her sentence in her apartment in Buenos Aires whom she shares with her daughter and her granddaughter.

Fernandez, the court said: “must remain at the registered address, an obligation that it can only break in exceptional situations”. All future visitors to the apartment – Apart from household staff, health workers and other approved people – must be checked by the court.

The imprisonment of the former president intervenes after the Supreme Court of Argentina last week confirmed his conviction And it was excluded to present itself again for a public service.

She was found guilty in 2022 to have used public works projects, including roads, to give beneficial contracts to a close partner of her family, Lazaro Baez. Prosecutors said the contracts granted to Baez had 20% higher prices than normal – a sum that could result in millions of dollars.

Other scandals have rekindled his political career, including accusations of corruption and money laundering. Some of these cases continue to be weighed by the Argentina’s judicial system.

But Fernandez rejected allegations against her as political attacks. She had prepared for launching an offer during this year’s legislative elections, until the ban on her candidacy.

Fernandez was president of Argentina from 2007 to 2015, after succeeding her husband, the late Nestor Kirchner.

In 2019, four years after leaving Casa Rosada – the “Rose house” of the presidency – Fernandez returned to the executive branch as vice -president of Alberto Fernandez, another leftist politician.

Fernandez and Alberto Fernandez – who do not share any family relationship – have faced strong criticisms for their management of the Argentina economy, including their high dependence on public spending and their devaluation of the country’s peso by the impression of an excess of money.

But in particular among the Argentines of the working class, Fernandez continues to benefit from substantial popularity, in particular for his investments in social programs to reduce poverty.

Since 2024, Fernandez has directed the justicist party, the main pillar of the opposition against the government of the current president Javier Milei, libertarian. He took office in 2023, succeeding Alberto Fernandez.

Faced with the incarceration of Fernandez, the supporters of the former president went down to the streets of Buenos Aires to protest during last week, calling for his prohibition of the public service an act of political compensation.
