Deputies of the Workers Party (PT) attended a major protest in Buenos Aires, which aimed to support Cristina Kirchnerformer president of Argentina. The demonstration attracted almost 1 million people and was attended by the federal deputy Paulo Pimenta and state representative Laura Sito, both from the Rio Grande do Sul PT. During the event, Sito criticized Kirchner’s conviction, which considers an example of “Lawfare”, and called for his release. Pimenta, in turn, expressed that his presence was a form of protest against what he considers “an injustice perpetrated by the judiciary.” He also made an analogy between Kirchner’s situation and other political figures that faced past persecution.
“We are sympathetic to her, when they once again want to take a great popular leadership out of political life, just as they did with Perón in their time and Lula more recently,” said Pimenta, who headed the Lula Government Secretariat of Social Communication before being changed by Sidônio Palmeira.
Cristina Kirchner, who has already held the presidency of Argentina, was sentenced to six years in house arrest for involvement in a corruption scheme linked to public works contracts with inflated values. The decision was ratified by the country’s Supreme Court, although the former president has the possibility of serving the sentence at her residence.
