- Last week in Buenos Aires, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Argentina's former two-time president, was placed under house arrest following a six-year prison sentence for corruption.
- Her detention followed the Supreme Court upholding her original 2022 sentence linked to roadway contracts amid internal Peronist divisions and a recent 2023 loss to Milei.
- Kirchner's house arrest has energized tens of thousands of protesters who gathered near her city apartment, where her voice was broadcast from loudspeakers in Plaza de Mayo last Wednesday.
- In a prerecorded message, Kirchner assured supporters that she plans to come back stronger, wiser, and more united, while her allies emphasized her continued key role within the Peronist left.
- Her detention highlights Argentina's political polarization and suggests she retains influence despite formal bans and restrictions on her activities.
