Almost a year after the start of her house arrest, Cristina Kirchner received an unprecedented demonstration of support in front of her apartment in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Constitución. The mayor of Hurlingham and representative of La Cámpora, Damián Selci, promoted an audiovisual intervention that transformed the façade of the San José 1111 building into a visual replica of the Casa Rosada. Before hundreds of militants gathered in the street, the former president went out to the balcony to greet.
Selci described the action as “an immense demonstration of love and loyalty” and shared images of the event on his social networks. “From Hurlingham to San José. From San José to the Casa Rosada,” he wrote, with the ending “Hurlingham always with Cristina” and “With Cristina to the moon.” The scene was completed with chants of “Let’s go back,” blue balloons and posters demanding the release of the former president and proclaiming her innocence.
The mobilization took place five days after the last public appearance of Kirchner, who on May 25 had greeted from the same balcony those who came to celebrate Homeland Day and the anniversary of Néstor Kirchner’s assumption of the presidency in 2003.
On June 10, 2025, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation upheld the sentence of six years in prison and disqualification from holding public office for the Roads case. Days later, the Federal Oral Court 2 – made up of judges Jorge Gorini, Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu and Andrés Basso – ordered the house arrest, and Kirchner took up residence at San José 1111, which since then became a permanent meeting point for the Kirchnerist militancy.
Sunday’s event is not an isolated event but the beginning of an agenda. Throughout June, close leaders and activists plan to organize events in front of the former president’s home. For June 20, Flag Day, a mobilization is planned that would start from Parque Lezama.
