  • A plane flew over La Matanza, Argentina, broadcasting the message "Cristina is innocent" during a speech by Supreme Court Justice Ricardo Lorenzetti.
  • The incident was part of a protest by Kirchnerist militants against Lorenzetti and the Supreme Court, using posters and graffiti to express their discontent.
  • Lorenzetti was speaking at the National University of La Matanza on topics including artificial intelligence and the rule of law.

Supreme Court Justice Ricardo Lorenzetti faced a boisterous protest during a lecture at the National University of La Matanza. Kirchnerist militants organized a campaign to express their disapproval, deploying a plane to broadcast "Cristina is innocent" over the area.

Posters and graffiti labeling Lorenzetti a "delinquent" and "thief," and calling the judges "mafiosi" and "cowards," appeared throughout La Matanza. These messages also targeted the Supreme Court, which includes its president Horacio Rosatti and Carlos Rosenkrantz.

Lorenzetti's lecture, titled 'Leadership in the 21st Century: Artificial Intelligence, Environment, Social Crises, and the Rule of Law,' was attended by students, judicial members, and the general public. During his address, he warned about society's distraction by daily events, urging attention to critical future issues and the growing disconnect between politics and citizens' realities.

He also highlighted the potential impact of artificial intelligence on employment, cautioning about the risk of mass unemployment due to automation. The protest's timing and methods underscore the deep political divisions and ongoing tensions surrounding former President Cristina Kirchner's legal situation.
