Cristina Kirchner's house arrest fuels new support rallies across Argentina
Lawmaker Mayra Mendoza led a caravan of supporters from Quilmes to the former president’s home at San José 1111, staging the "Quilmes con Cristina" rally. Mendoza denounced the judiciary, calling Cristina Kirchner "innocent" and saying "Cristina Libre es la única forma de frenar a Milei" while urging continued political mobilization.
Kirchner herself posted a tribute to the recently deceased Taty Almeida, head of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, describing her as a "luchadora incansable que honraste la vida" and highlighting their shared commitment to human‑rights and social policies. The events underscore growing opposition to the current government’s stance on Kirchner’s house arrest and the broader political polarization in Argentina.
