""Isn't it paradoxical that they enjoy absolute freedom to continue doing the same things, causing the same pain, the same suffering to the Argentine people; they are free and I am a prisoner.""
""Justice. The end." wrote Milei after the ruling, signaling a significant political shift in Argentina and reflecting the deeply polarized political climate."
Argentina's Supreme Court upheld a six-year prison sentence against former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for corruption, leading to her barring from public office for life. Kirchner, a significant figure in Argentine politics and leader of the Justicialist party, publicly rejected the charges as an act of political persecution. The ruling came as she aimed for a political comeback following Javier Milei's victory in 2023, reflecting the country's political volatility and deep divisions. Despite her legal troubles, Kirchner retains a loyal following, evident from public protests in support of her.
