Prosecution Asks Cristina Kirchner to Halt Public Gatherings at Her Home

Argentina's Attorney General, Diego Luciani, and Sergio Mola have asked the court to compel Cristina Kirchner to stop mass gatherings at her Buenos Aires home, where she is under house arrest. The prosecution argues that public appearances from her balcony violate the terms of her detention.


Prosecution Asks Cristina Kirchner to Halt Public Gatherings at Her Home

Buenos Aires, March 26, 2026 - Total News Agency (TNA) - The Attorney General, Diego Luciani, along with his colleague Sergio Mola, asked the Federal Oral Court No. 2 to urge Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to adopt behaviors that prevent new disturbances to public order and security around her home at San José 1111, where she is serving house arrest for a final conviction in the Vialidad case.

The prosecution's argument points directly to what happened during the March 24th mobilization, when militants and supporters gathered in front of the residence and the former president came out onto the balcony to greet them. For the Public Ministry, this scene created tension with the rules established to maintain the benefit.

The move by Luciani and Mola is neither a minor gesture nor a simple formal reminder. This precedent explains why the Public Ministry now seeks to stop new scenes of mass concentration before they become normalized as part of the detention regime.

For now, TOF 2 has not ruled on the prosecution's request. According to the document released by various media, Luciani and Mola argued that the gatherings in front of the home and the public appearances from the balcony contradict the core of the resolutions that made the mitigation of the sentence possible. If the court accepts the proposal, Cristina Kirchner will be formally warned that she cannot allow or be involved in situations that alter the environment around her home again.

The background is broader and touches on a particularly sensitive point: since she began serving her sentence in her apartment, Cristina Kirchner's balcony has become a political and symbolic platform of strong centrality for her activism. When TOF 2 granted this benefit on June 17, 2025, it was after the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation left firm the conviction of six years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office for fraudulent administration to the detriment of the State.

In the document presented to judges Jorge Gorini, Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu and Andrés Basso, the prosecutors demanded that the condemned be urged “under penalty of having the benefit granted revoked”, a formula that in practice places Cristina Kirchner before a concrete procedural warning. They also emphasized that the calls would have been promoted, at least in part, through social networks and militant structures, which in their view aggravates the situation by transforming a house arrest into a scene with an impact on circulation, security, and the routine of the neighborhood.

The discussion is not limited to the events of March 24th. And if these episodes are repeated, the discussion could escalate to a much more delicate terrain: that of a possible review of the benefit that today allows her to serve her sentence outside a penitentiary unit. However, the move by Luciani and Mola once again tensions the execution of a sentence that never ceased to have high political and judicial voltage. As far back as June 2025, thousands of people had mobilized to her home, and that point in the building became a place of visual and political contact with her followers.
