Cristina Kirchner is going through the most complex political moment of her career. Convicted of corruption in the road cause and with ratified house arrestthe former president Try to hold its influence on Peronism through symbolic gestures that they keep it in the radar of the national leadership, even when the real weight of its figure is diluted outside the Buenos Aires conurbano.
In the last hours, the former president published two messages that, beyond formality, evidence her strategy: show as articulator and reference of a federal Peronism that, in fact, has begun to decoupling his leadership. “A few minutes ago I communicated with fellow governor Gildo Insfrán to congratulate him for the excellent result of Peronism in the election of conventional constituents and provincial legislators. A big hug to all Formoseños and Formoseñas, ”he wrote in his account in X.
Greetings in x
Minutes later, Cristina added another message aimed at Santa Fe: “I also communicated with the partner Juan Monteverde that achieved a great victory in Rosario. My congratulations to the classmates of Santafine Peronism for the excellent choice they also made in other provincial interior cities. ”
Both tweets are symptomatic. While in Buenos Aires Peronism is fragmented between La Cámpora, Axel Kicillof and the mayorsin the rest of the country the governors maintain gestures of respect for the former president, but avoid getting involved in her local fight. The case of Insfrán is paradigmatic: he managed to retain the absolute control of Formosa with a blunt victory In the elections of conventional and legislators (almost 70% of the votes), but in their assembly there is no place for the judicial strategy or the persecution account that still sustains Christianity in Buenos Aires.
The same happens in Santa Fe. Juan Monteverdewinner in Rosario, he received the public greeting of Cristina, who seeks to capitalize on his triumph as his own to project himself as a space leader. However, the provincial reality marks another trend: Monteverde, although it comes from the future city and was Juan recordois allyhe built his candidacy far from the pure structures of La Cámpora and with transverse agreements that include non -Kirchnerist sectors of the Santa Fe PJ.
Peronist rearmed
Cristina, without margin to be a candidate again, faces the challenge of not being completely run from the decision -making table of national Peronismtoday controlled by the governors. Her judicial situation, aggravated after the ruling of the Supreme Court that firmly firmly for corruption, forces her to remain in her residence in Recoleta under house arrest. There, without possible mass acts or direct territorial contacts, it seeks to show itself as a still summoning figure, appealing to his role as the founding mother of Kirchnerismto the memory of Nestor and his historic centrality in the national scene.
But the Peronist governors, for the most part, have chosen to sustain gestures of formal support without real subordination. “Out of respect,” their greetings and mentions usually justify in private, aware that the electoral brand of Cristina Kirchner today does not guarantee votes outside Buenos Aires And, in many cases, it subtracts more than it adds. In the recent campaign of “Cristina Libre” promoted by La Cámpora to denounce her “proscription”, almost none of the provincial leaders folded, prioritizing their own local strategies.
So, The former president faces double isolation: legal and political. While Justice advances in its conviction, national Peronism redefines its leadership with figures such as Sergio Massa, Kicillof and Recrois, rising governors and federal shipowners who seek to reposition the party for 2027. Cristina, meanwhile, tries to keep a foot in that process with the only resource that remains today: His word on social networks.
Economic message
In parallel, the former president tried to reposition himself as a critical voice of the libertarian economy with an extensive pointee addressed to Javier Milei also in X.
“Che Milei, ‘Economist expert in growth with and without money’ … You can shout as energumo, whore in Aramaic and threaten to put ‘prisoners to all’ … but brother … the dollars leave and the investments do not arrive …”.
Cristina broken down data from the BCRA exchange balance: USD 3,226 m came out in May and USD 5,247 m in April, “44% of the USD 12 billion given by the IMF.” He also questioned the commercial deficit, the lack of investments and the indebtedness model: “You have half Argentina that does not reach the end of the month and the numbers do not close you. Neither in dollars. Nor in pesos.”
The publication, in addition to confronting Milei in the economic field, sought to recover centrality in national discussion and demonstrate that, despite his house arrest, It is still attentive to the political and financial future of the country. “Look, because you no longer have to adjust. You stay with a twine that is from the provinces. You have a half Argentina that does not arrive at the end of the month and indebted to eat and above the numbers do not close you. Nor in dollars. And for what we saw in the bidding of debt last week, nor in pesos. You had to pay rate above the inflation and 42% do not renew. Trade? “CFK posted.
He added: “They can lock me up and proscribe me, but the economic model of structural indebtedness, saved wages and ironed dollar, as always, will fail. We already live it.” Self -referential as always at closing.
