In a turn bordering on the tragicomic, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, former president of the Nation and current leader of Kirchnerism, declared through her lawyers that she can't "subsist" now that she lacks the millionaire allocations she received for having held the head of state and for being the widow of the also former president Néstor Kirchner. The presentation was made before ANSES in an alarmist tone, denouncing that her client "doesn't own assets" and that any income to her estate "would be automatically frozen" by a judicial inhibition.
"The only income that allows her to subsist," they stated, "is her lifetime monthly allocation," which they described as an unseizable social security right. A narrative that attempts to construct an image of financial vulnerability for someone who, until recently, was receiving scandalous amounts.
