“Common prison for the convicted”highlighted Eduardo Feinmann on his X account. Once again, on social networks, the journalist referred to the house arrest that the former president Cristina Kirchner He remains in his residence in the Constitución neighborhood and criticized the lax detention regime. The communicator’s accusations intensified in parallel with the judicial tightening of the conditions of the former president’s arrest and a series of episodes that, according to prosecutors and media sectors, would show non-compliance with the benefit granted.
From her media spaces and social networks, Feinmann has repeatedly maintained that the former president “believes herself to be above everything” and questioned both her attitude before Justice and the prerogatives of her house arrest, in line with the request of prosecutors. Diego Luciani and Sergio Mola, who had already expressed their rejection of the granting of that benefit. The axis of the recent controversy is linked to the commemoration of March 24, when the Peronist leader held political meetings at her home that were interpreted as a possible violation of the detention regime.
The judge of the Federal Oral Court 2, Jorge Gorini, He had previously tightened the conditions of visits, limiting them to small and previously authorized meetings, after Kirchner received a large group of economists in his home. The reiteration of political meetings and public exposure on sensitive dates such as Memorial Day reactivated judicial proposals to review the benefit, in a scenario where prosecutors evaluate the possibility of requesting the revocation of house arrest.
Feinmann was particularly harsh in the face of these episodes. In her radio and television interventions, she supported the position of the prosecutors and questioned the fact that the former president uses her home as a center of political activity, interpreting that this distorts the restrictive nature of the measure. In this context, the journalist insisted that house arrest “is not freedom” and that, in his opinion, the former president enjoys privileges incompatible with a firm sentence.
Cristina Kirchner is deprived of her liberty in the case known as “Viality”, in which she was sentenced to six years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office for fraudulent administration in the awarding of public works in the province of Santa Cruz. The sentence, confirmed by the Supreme Court with the votes of the judges Ricardo Lorenzetti, Horacio Rosatti and Carlos Rosenkrantz, established that during his governments the businessman was favored Lazaro Baez with irregular contracts, many of which were left unfinished.
The execution of the sentence under the form of house arrest was based on his age – 72 years – and security reasons, especially after the attempted assassination suffered in 2022, although that decision was questioned from the beginning by the prosecutor’s office, which considered that there were no medical conditions that justified it.
In parallel, the judicial situation of the former president is aggravated by her involvement in the so-called “Cuadernos case.” The investigation, promoted by the prosecutor Carlos Stornelli and the late judge Claudio Bonadio, It is based on the driver’s notes. Oscar Centeno, who recorded alleged transfers of money from businessmen to public officials.
In this file, Kirchner is accused of having led an illicit association aimed at systematically collecting bribes linked to public works. During her statement before the court, the former Head of State rejected the charges, denounced judicial persecution and accused investigators of using “mafia practices” and manipulated evidence, also refusing to answer questions.
Feinmann’s reaction to that appearance was also forceful. When analyzing her presentation, she described it as “haughty” and once again insisted that the former president maintains an attitude of permanent confrontation with Justice, reinforcing her thesis that she does not recognize institutional limits.
In this context, the combination between a final conviction in the Roads case, suspicions of non-compliance with the house arrest regime and the progress of the trial in the Cuadernos case configures a complex judicial scenario for Kirchner, in which the decisions of the judges and the requests of the prosecutors could lead to a tightening of his detention conditions or even the revocation of the benefit, while the public debate continues to amplify the political impact of the case.
