"The truth is, what happened yesterday was very moving, and I was just telling my colleague that with the years we have, we are witnessing the second proscription of the Justicialist Party, and it’s always us. Regarding the Justicialist Party, I think Cristina has said enough and may have made mistakes like we all do, right? But even though personally, due to my own issues, it didn’t benefit me at all, it did benefit everyone else around me."

"First, as a woman, she represents a political transformation, the conquest of rights, and I believe in her. I did a lot of research before coming, in the sense that I informed myself. I learned about the cause, I learned about a lot of things, and I felt that I had to be here, and here I am."

13. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ricardo Acebal, retiree and supporter of Cristina Kirchner:
"We are experiencing a lot of outrageous things every day, but this one seems like a direct insult so that those who still had any doubts, they no longer will have them. Hopefully they decide to take to the streets like we did. With the years we have ourselves, we are here. We need a lot more people here, and I’m seeing that there are more people now, still we need everyone to join us, so well, at least we are hopeful."

STORYLINE:
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Argentina’s former president and central figure of the Peronist movement, is awaiting a judicial decision on her request to serve a 6-year prison sentence under house arrest.
Her legal team argues that her age (72), former presidential status, and a failed assassination attempt in 2022 warrant additional protective measures.
Meanwhile, supporters and union members gathered outside her residence to show solidarity.
The federal court has given her five business days to appear and be officially notified of where she must serve her sentence. However, prosecutors are demanding her immediate arrest.
Fernández has also requested to serve her sentence without an electronic ankle monitor, arguing that her security detail is sufficient to ensure compliance. Her lawyers emphasize that she has always cooperated with judicial procedures.
The Supreme Court rejected her appeal challenging the legitimacy of the evidence used in the 2022 trial, which found her guilty of orchestrating a massive fraud involving the irregular allocation of public contracts to a businessman with ties to her family.
The conviction disqualifies Fernández from running in the upcoming provincial elections in September.
