The ridiculous K deputy from Córdoba, Estévez, defended CFK and attacked the Supreme Court.

The Kirchnerist deputy for Córdoba, Gabriela Estévez, was once again at the center of controversy following her statements about Cristina Kirchner in local media. She did so on the program 3 Poderes, where she accused Supreme Court judges and sectors of Javier Milei's government of promoting an alleged persecution. "This isn't justice, it's a show to discipline those who stand up," she declared.

In a defiant tone, Estévez said that for more than 12 years there has been an effort to wear down Cristina with fabricated cases, newspaper headlines, and show operations. "They broke down her walls looking for money that didn't exist," she asserted. She also denounced links between magistrates and opposition leaders: "They played soccer with Macri and traveled with Clarín."

The Kirchnerist legislator criticized the fact that high-ranking officials were not summoned to testify in the case. For her, that demonstrates that "the Constitution was violated" and that the judicial process was biased from the beginning. Without providing evidence, she claimed that the conviction is part of an attempt at proscription.

Hardcore Kirchnerism

Estévez took the opportunity to criticize the silence of part of Córdoba's Peronism after the judicial sentence. "Those who remain silent today could be on parole tomorrow," she warned in a threatening tone. She also questioned Luis Juez and hinted that, if she came to power, she would pursue opponents.

She only praised the attitude of Natalia de la Sota, whom she commended for publicly defending the former president. "We're not going to abandon our leader," she stated, reinforcing the idea that Cristina remains the center of gravity for Kirchnerism. The strategy is clear: shield her with a victimhood narrative.

Kirchnerism vs Córdoba

In Córdoba, where Kirchnerism has an almost nonexistent electoral base, Estévez's line seeks to regroup her own ranks with confrontational rhetoric. The judicial case, however, moves forward with documentary evidence and sentences handed down by independent courts.

Córdoba has maintained for years a clearly anti-Kirchnerist identity, forged in key episodes that deeply marked its relationship with Kirchnerism. The conflict over Resolution 125, which sought to squeeze the agricultural sector with abusive export taxes, encountered massive resistance in this province that still endures in the collective memory.

To this was added the abandonment by the national government during the 2013 police mutiny, when Córdoba was left to its fate in the face of violence and looting, while the Casa Rosada looked the other way. That betrayal is not forgotten and explains why Kirchnerism has never been able to regain ground in the country's productive heartland.

Victimhood and the same old script

The deputy denied rumors about an alleged territorial distribution agreement among national leaders of the Frente de Todos. She called for the formation of a new front that "restores hope to the Argentine people."

Her words repeated the usual script: victimhood, unsubstantiated attacks, and unconditional defense of Cristina, even after a judicial conviction. For Estévez, the judiciary, the media, and even Milei's government would be part of an anti-Kirchnerist network.

Far from prompting reflection, the conviction of Cristina Kirchner strengthened the fanaticism of the Kirchnerist core. In the midst of an institutional reconstruction process, Estévez made it clear which side she is on: the impunity narrative and the blind defense of corrupt power, above justice and the law.

It is worth recalling that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was convicted of corruption in the Vialidad case. This sentence exposed the network of privileges and diversion of public funds during her administration.

Far from taking responsibility, the former president seeks to portray herself as a victim and delegitimize the judiciary. Her conviction, far from being an attack, is a sign that justice can—and must—reach even those who believed they were above the law.
