As thousands of protesters gathered in Plaza de Mayo in her support, former President Cristina Kirchner sent a recorded message from her apartment in Constitución, where she is under house arrest. She criticized Milei's government, denounced political persecution, and called on activists to"organize to clarify the country's true problem."
This Wednesday, a large mobilization will take place in Plaza de Mayo in support of Cristina Kirchner, who was detained in her apartment in Constitución on Tuesday to begin serving her six-year prison sentence in the Highways case.
From there, the former president left a recorded message for the activists who mobilized in Plaza de Mayo."I stand firm and calm here in San José, prohibited from going out onto the balcony. What a mess they are," she began.
He then added: “I want to thank everyone for their outpouring of affection. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I heard you sing slogans, marches, and the national anthem, but what I liked most was your singing ‘we will return.’”
She then harshly criticized Milei's government."This model has no future. They know it's failing, and that's why I'm in prison. But there's something everyone needs to understand: they can lock me up, but not the entire Argentine people. They're scared."
“Organize to clarify”
"We need to organize to clarify the real problem our country has," he warned."How can an economic model be sustained where people have to pay for their daily food and then can't pay it off? How does a country survive where it's much better to buy food, travel, and clothes abroad? Because it's cheaper than what it is here at home. And while this is happening, the Minister of Economy, the disgraceful Caputo, rents dollars, rents dollars to pretend he has reserves," he questioned.
"The Argentine people know how to stand up, resist, organize, fight, and come back. I don't know what the immediate future holds, but I do know one thing: I've been through almost everything in this life. I've endured this infamous judicial process that has dragged on for years and that ended with the same corruption with which it began," he asserted.
And then he concluded: “Dear Argentines, we will return. And from whatever position I may be, I will continue to do everything in my power to be with you. We have something they will never have. We have people, we have memory, we have history, and we have a homeland. We will return, a thousand times over.”
