The project that would prevent Cristina Kirchner from being a candidate in next year's elections is advancing, waiting to be approved by the Chamber of Deputies and then by the Senate. This project is based on her conviction for corruption crimes, specifically for fraudulent administration of the state. If carried out, Cristina Kirchner would face actual imprisonment, which would affect her potential participation in the elections.
The Senate is still unable to reach an agreement on the appointment of federal judge Ariel Lijo as a commissioner judge of the Supreme Court, given the possibility that Cristina Kirchner would not allow this appointment. On the other hand, there are tensions between different political actors, like Macri, who stands firm in his position for transparency in public offices.
Milei's figure emerges in this context as an actor trying to polarize politics, even allying with Cristina Kirchner on certain approaches. The corruption case surrounding Cristina Kirchner, related to public works awarded to Lázaro Báez, has generated condemnations and continuous judicial instances.
On another front, the government's application of VAT to media outlets raises debates about access to information and transparency in society. Amidst this situation, polls show Cristina Kirchner leading in the province of Buenos Aires, although Argentine politics is mired in various controversies and maneuvers.
The possibility of Cristina Kirchner running as a candidate in future elections will depend both on political decisions and judicial processes against her. The Chamber of Cassation upheld her conviction, but the case is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court. In this scenario, political and judicial uncertainty marks the course of Argentina.
