The demonstration in support of Cristina Kirchner begins in Buenos Aires
Peronism mobilizes this Wednesday to the Plaza de Mayo, in front of the Casa Rosada, to support Cristina Kirchner, the call is at 14.00 of Argentina, but from early on the city of Buenos Aires different cuts of avenues are seen in the city of Buenos Aires. It is also incessant the entry of buses from the outskirts of the capital, especially in the income that cross the stream in the south, where the electoral bastions of Peronism and the province of Buenos Aires are concentrated.
Peronism had thought for today a great demonstration that accompanied Kirchner to federal courts, where he would be notified of his sentence. But the judges decided yesterday to advance the notification and make it in writing at the domicile of the former president. Kirchner is already in his home and Peronism had to recalculate the strategy for an epic day.
In the afternoon, governors and leaders gathered at the headquarters of the party and resolved a march to Plaza de Mayo, a place full of political symbolism for Peronism. Social movements, intendants of the conurbano, legislators, unions and even leftist parties were added, which do not usually accompany the protests of Kirchnerism. Evidence of the division within Peronism was the reluctance of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), a union arm of the party but faced with Kirchner since his time as president. The CGT gave freedom of action to its unions.
It is especially important at this time the concentration in front of the floor where Kirchner meets its house prison in Constitution, a low and a half -class neighborhood that has been agitated for weeks. The most faithful militancy, especially the one linked to La Cámpora, to a group that runs Máximo Kirchner, performs a vigil in the place since last Tuesday the Supreme Court ratified the conviction against the former president in the so -called road cause.
The Argentine Justice condemned Kirchner in the so -called road cause, which investigated the address of public works in the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz, cradle of Kirchnerism, in favor of an entrepreneur named Lázaro Báez, already imprisoned for corruption. Báez was a humble bank cashier when he became a millionaire as an entrepreneur of the construction of Néstor Kirchner, at that time governor. Last week, the Supreme Court rejected all the claims of the defender’s defense and left the sentence firm, without the possibility of appeal.
