They questioned the capture of the narco-terrorist leader and avoided condemning the Venezuelan regime

After the capture of the former dictator and narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro by United States forces in a military operation in Venezuela, two of the main figures of Kirchnerism, Cristina Kirchner and Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Kicillof, criticized the United States and defended the Chavista leader.
In both statements, they questioned the U.S. intervention, denounced an alleged violation of international law and placed the focus on "Venezuelan sovereignty," without condemning the regime headed by the Chavista leader.
The corrupt and convicted former president Cristina Kirchner published an extensive message in which she focused her analysis on the actions of Donald Trump's administration, which she accused of repeating historical practices of military intervention in Latin America. In her text, she maintained that "no one can deny that last Saturday at dawn the Trump administration in the U.S. once again crossed a line that many of us thought would not be crossed again."

In that context, she denounced what she described as a "kidnapping of a president and his wife in their own country," when referring to Maduro's capture, and she questioned the military operation.
The convicted former president also concealed the crimes of former dictator Maduro and his murderous regime, and she pointed directly at the United States: "it is not 'restoring a democratic government in the Republic of Venezuela,' nor 'the fight against drug trafficking,' but seizing the largest conventional oil reserve in the world... With no mask."
Axel Kicillof's message
In the same vein, the ultra-Kirchnerist governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, issued an official statement on behalf of his administration. "The Province of Buenos Aires condemns the military actions of the United States in Venezuela. This event constitutes a serious violation of the basic principles of international law, disrupts regional stability and sets a dangerous precedent," he stated.
Kicillof maintained that Washington's actions "violate the Charter of the United Nations and the Charter of the OAS, and disregard the principle of non-intervention," in a clear defense of the former Chavista dictator, a historic ally of Kirchnerist governments.

The Buenos Aires Province governor concluded his message with a political definition that reinforces the stance he shares with Cristina Kirchner: "The principles of defending peace, non-intervention and defense of sovereignty must stand above economic convenience."
Both statements caused strong criticism on social media, especially for omitting any explicit condemnation of the Venezuelan regime, which for years was singled out by international organizations for human rights violations, political persecution and lack of democratic safeguards.
