The former president lashed out at what she called the "media bestiary" and the government of Javier Milei, defending a meeting she held with economists. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), CFK referred to a photo in her house-prison at San José 1111, where she is seen with nine young economists who presented her with proposals for a "National Economic Model of productive and federal growth for the 21st Century." The defense of the meeting and the attack on the media. Kirchner dismissed criticism about the number of people at the meeting and about "doing politics." The former president accused directly: "What really bothered the media bestiary, its economic patrons, and the Milei government... is that we talked about a National Economic Model of productive and federal growth for the 21st Century." Criticism of Milei's economic management.

"Milei's catastrophe": She stated that "even the weakest Peronist government (...) had better results than this Milei catastrophe." Finally, she described the policy of "lowering inflation with brutal recession, destruction of jobs, a pegged dollar, and frozen wages" as worthy of an "apprentice butcher."

"I don't receive anyone without prior authorization from the Tribunal," she clarified, and added ironically: "Is there anything more political than meeting with candidates before an election?
