Cristina Fernández de Kirchner: Peronists mark 4 years since assassination attempt

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner assassination attempt anniversary Peronism house arrest electronic monitoring

On the fourth anniversary of the assassination attempt against former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Peronist leaders and supporters held a major demonstration at her house arrest residence in Buenos Aires. The event featured a speech by Deputy Máximo Kirchner, who defended his mother’s resilience and suggested she is preparing for a potential 2027 presidential candidacy.

Political figures, including Sergio Massa and Miguel Ángel Pichetto, signed a manifesto titled ‘Democracy does not admit the elimination of the adversary,’ which criticizes political violence, hate speech, and the current judicial treatment of the former leader. While many Peronist figures participated, Governor Axel Kicillof was notably absent from the official signing.

Legal and technical concerns were also raised regarding the electronic monitoring of Fernández de Kirchner. Reports indicate that her E4 ankle monitor lacks an altimeter, meaning it cannot track vertical movement within her building. This has led to judicial inquiries into whether she could move between floors, such as to a first-floor apartment recently purchased by a political ally, without triggering alerts. The investigation into the original attack continues to face criticism from supporters who claim the intellectual authors remain unpunished.
