The letter condemns the "procedural and legal irregularities" in her trial and holds the judicial system, the media, and certain political sectors responsible for a "media campaign of lies and stigmatization" against her. The missive, signed by more than two hundred and fifty politicians and international figures, expresses rejection of the judicial conviction she received in the context of the Vialidad Case, labeling the sentence as "lawfare," accusing it of being a maneuver to banish her, and denouncing a political, media, and judicial persecution.
However, the lack of support from AMLO, Sheinbaum, and Mujica adds an element of tension and highlights the challenge of maintaining regional support for the former vice president amid a constantly changing Latin American political context. According to REALPOLITIK, from Cristina's environment, this lack of support was attributed to mismanagement and unsuccessful efforts by the international team of the Instituto Patria, particularly in the cases of AMLO and Sheinbaum.
The absence of key signatures, such as that of the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, her predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), and former Uruguayan president José Mujica, generated profound annoyance in the environment of the former running mate of Alberto Fernández. It is worth noting that Cristina visited Mexico only two months ago and, although she held meetings with intellectuals and political figures from the Morena environment, including then-elected Sheinbaum, the fact that AMLO did not receive her had already generated suspicions.
The expression of support, which received endorsements from high-profile figures such as the presidents of Honduras and Bolivia, Xiomara Castro and Luis Arce, respectively, and former presidents Rafael Correa and Evo Morales, in addition to personalities from various leftist parties in Latin America and Europe, was designed to show a network of solidarity with the former vice president against what the Instituto Patria considers systematic persecution against her. The absence of these signatures in the recent letter is interpreted as a clear distancing.
At the Instituto Patria, there are moments of discomfort due to the lack of support from key figures such as AMLO, Claudia Sheinbaum, and Pepe Mujica in the international letter of support for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The Instituto Patria is experiencing an atmosphere of frustration and discomfort following the recent publication of an international support letter for former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
