• International Historical sentence in Argentina: six years in prison for Cristina Kirchner for corruption

  • Condemns Cristina Kirchner denounces being the victim of a "firing squad"

The Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, will travel to

Buenos Aires

to participate on Monday in an act of support for the Argentine Vice President, Cristina Fernández, sentenced last Tuesday in a court case for corruption.

Díaz will participate in a discussion table that will also include former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and former presidents

Evo Morales (Bolivia), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), José Mujica (Uruguay)

and

Ernesto Samper (Colombia)

.

The discussion table is organized by the

Puebla Group

, a left-leaning political and academic forum.

The event will be attended by the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, promoter of the initiative to express his "solidarity" with the Argentine vice president, and the convicted woman herself.

That same day, various unions in Argentina have launched a call to demonstrate in the Argentine capital in favor of Cristina Fernández.

"Enough of the judicial mafia" is the slogan of the mobilization called, among other union groups, by the

Central de Trabajadores de Argentina

(CTA).

"This Monday, December 12, we convened together with other organizations from the popular camp to demand the resignation of the Supreme Court of Justice and a democratic judicial reform," said the Autonomous CTA on Thursday through the social network Twitter.

The unions plan to gather on Monday afternoon at the gates of the CCK Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, in parallel with the meeting of the Puebla Group that will be held there, also in support of the Argentine vice president.

Last Tuesday, an oral court sentenced Cristina Fernández, who governed the country between 2007 and 2015, to 6 years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office for defrauding the Public Administration in a case for irregularities in the concession of road works during the

Kirchner

governments (2003-2015).

After the verdict was announced, the 69-year-old vice president stated that she was a victim of the "judicial mafia" and a "parastatal" apparatus that does not forgive her for defending "people's rights" and announced that she does not intend to run for any position in the 2023 general elections.
