Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazil's president, attended the Mercosur summit in Buenos Aires but did not meet Argentinian president Javier Milei. Instead, he visited Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, under house arrest for corruption. Kirchner, barred from holding office due to a conviction, has become a significant figure for her supporters. Although there was speculation about an appearance on her balcony, it did not occur. Lula's visit, approved by a judge, lasted about 45 minutes and was framed as a political act of solidarity against perceived persecution.
Lula will attend the Mercosur summit, choosing to meet Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner rather than Javier Milei, which highlights political dynamics in Argentina.
Kirchner's legal troubles, including a conviction for corruption, have not diminished her support among followers, making her residence a symbolic site for political solidarity.
