Supporters rally for Cristina Kirchner's freedom

Thousands of supporters gathered in Buenos Aires' Parque Lezama on Flag Day for a rally demanding the release of former president Cristina Kirchner, who is under house arrest in the Vialidad case. The event, under the slogan "For Argentina. For Cristina. Rally in Parque Lezama," saw legislator Máximo Kirchner address the crowd.

Kirchner called for Peronist unity but cautioned against repeating past errors. "It's one of the central points regarding how to build unity in Argentina; lest we reach government again and someone messes up and we all go backward again and end up with a president even worse than the current one," he warned, without naming specific individuals. He also referenced former president Alberto Fernández, stating that "it had taken a lot to regain the government in 2019, but for many it came from above. They decided like statesmen and hadn't gathered a single vote."
