First modification:
For the first time, one of the many processes against the former president and current vice president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, comes to trial. In addition, it is the first time that a sentence has been requested against her: 12 years in prison and political disability for life, allegedly for influencing the award of more than 50 contracts to a businessman friend. Justice or judicial and media persecution? Will the vice president end up in jail? We discussed it in our discussion.
There is still a long way to go, since the defense arguments of each of the 13 defendants in the case known as ‘Vialidad’ are missing, including those of Fernández de Kirchner, and this will only begin on September 5.
In addition, the ruling made by the Federal Oral Court between the end of this year and the beginning of the other can be appealed and appealed before two instances. So there is still a long time to go before a final decision. However, the request of the Public Ministry against one of the most visible figures of Peronism is further dividing Argentina.
To analyze this topic we talked with our guests:
– Fernando Borroni, journalist and political analyst.
– Eduardo Yeróm, lawyer specializing in criminal law and former Argentine judge.
