The claim of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to have the electronic anklet removed reignited the controversy. Through her lawyers, the former president had requested to annul the control device, but the Supreme Court of Justice confirmed that he must continue using itconsidering that the conditions that justify the measure are maintained.
The judicial decision had an immediate political and media rebound. One of the hardest was the journalist Eduardo Feinmannwho reacted with an explosive message on the social networkSend her to a regular prison. Unit 4 or 7 for women in Ezeiza is ideal”.
The ruling of the highest court ratified what was decided in previous instances and discarded the arguments of the defense, which had stated that the anklet was unnecessary and stigmatizing. For the Court, electronic monitoring remains a valid and proportional measurewithin the framework of the judicial cases involving the former president.
Feinmann’s reaction is part of a long series of public intersections with Kirchnerism and, in particular, with the figure of Cristina Kirchner. His message generated a strong impact on social networks, with support from opposition sectors and rejection from leaders and users who accused him of incitement and symbolic violence.
Meanwhile, the judicial situation of the former president continues under scrutiny. The electronic anklet, already converted into a political symbol, once again functioned as a trigger for a crack that combines justice, power and media confrontation.
