The television cameras of La Nación+ captured the moment in which Cristina Kirchner He looked out waving from the balcony of his residence in the Constitución neighborhood. The former president is under house arrest in her apartment at San José 1111 in the City of Buenos Aires and frequently appears from that sector to offer gestures of gratitude to the Peronist militancy that accompanies her.
The curious thing is that the news channel’s broadcast revealed the number of people who were at that moment at the intersection of San José and Humberto Primo streets. The host of the television series listed the people who were at that moment on the famous corner. To the surprise of many, in the cameraman’s frame when opening the shot, only eight individuals could be made visible, presumably supporters of the former president.
This last sequence contrasts with the leader’s first presentations on the balcony. On June 16, in the afternoon, Cristina Kirchner appeared on the balconies of her apartment in the Constitución neighborhood, to greet the militancy that had gathered in the vicinity of the building, within the framework of the permanent vigil after the ratification of her conviction for the Roads case. From that space, he threw kisses, made heart gestures with his hands and harangued his followers: “We are going to come back!” he exclaimed, causing the crowd to sing in unison.
After that moment, a security operation was carried out, reinforcing the corner with metal fences and police guard. On other occasions the liturgy was repeated. After 100 days of her house arrest, the president of the PJ once again received the support of related groups that mobilized under the slogan “100 days of injustice.” In this context, she went out to the balcony after 3:30 p.m. to thank the militancy, who was waiting for her under signs and drums. Later, he published a post: “Thank you for always being there.”
In general, the appearances occurred at key moments in his judicial situation and on symbolic dates for his militancy. In all of them, the mobilizations included songs, drums, Argentine flags, and took place under a strong security operation. Although both the militant affection and the balcony become a kind of additional political stage, in the rest of the weeks these gestures decrease noticeably.
