Kirchnerists rally outside Cristina Kirchner's apartment ahead of anniversary

Supporters of Argentina's Kirchnerist movement have been rallying daily outside the Buenos Aires apartment of former President Cristina Kirchner for nearly a month. The gatherings coincide with the approach of the one-year anniversary of her conviction for fraudulent administration in the Vialidad case, and her subsequent house arrest.

Delegations from municipalities in Buenos Aires province, along with Kirchnerist leaders and representatives from sectors such as education, healthcare, and retirees, congregate each afternoon. They hope Kirchner will appear on her balcony, a ritual that has become a daily fixture since around May 12. The demonstrations gained momentum following a university march that called on the government to fulfill the University Financing Law.

The corner of San José 1111 and Humberto Primo has become a focal point for political activity. Events have included talks by deputies Rodolfo Tailhade and Vanesa Siley, discussions on judicial persecution, and cultural activities like historical displays, t-shirt printing, dance classes, and football matches. These events are often framed with messages such as "Cristina, we know why they are persecuting you."

Various political figures and groups have participated, including Buenos Aires Justice Minister Juan Martín Mena and provincial senator Fernanda Raverta. La Cámpora, a prominent Kirchnerist youth organization, has also organized events, with militants from Lomas de Zamora gathering and presenting cultural performances. The ongoing demonstrations highlight the continued political mobilization of Kirchner's supporters.
