Soledad Magno, secretary for Regional Integration of the Justicialista Party, who described it that way to Prensa Latina, participated in the ceremony at the National Autonomous University in Mexico City, alongside legislators from the Union for the Homeland party, who traveled there to explain the injustice of the case and promote actions for the former dignitary’s release.

Cristina is under house arrest and politically banned after the Supreme Court upheld a federal court conviction, actions described as political persecution against the two-time president, one-time vice president, and current head of the Justicialista Party.

The three Supreme Court justices, two of whom had personal ties to former President Mauricio Macri, during whose administration the irregular proceedings began, rushed to issue their ruling after the Peronista politician announced her candidacy for representative in the Buenos Aires Province Legislature.

Political organizations immediately drove to support the former president, and Justicialista Party launched two campaigns: a national one, “Argentina with Cristina,” and an international one, “Free Cristina,” similar to the one carried out when Inacio Lula da Silva was imprisoned.

“The launch was very successful, with academic and political support, as the Secretary General of Morena (Morena), Carolina Rangel, participated, and former President of the Ecuadorian National Assembly, Gabriela Rivadeneira, also joined in. She addressed the use of the judiciary as a tool of political persecution and the negative impact of “lawfares” in the region,” Magno said.

At the same time, other Argentine delegations participated in events in Bolivia and Brazil, including the Labor Party Congress in Brasilia, where the Committee for a Free Cristina was also launched, and the former president’s lawyers are also preparing presentations to international justice organizations.
