Amid a new staging aimed at reinforcing her political presence while serving her sentence in her luxury apartment, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner posted on social media an image alongside a like-minded activist. However, what was intended to be a pleasant snapshot ended up causing astonishment: in her personal library, located in her residence in the Constitución neighborhood of Buenos Aires, a copy can be clearly seen titled "Tribute from Argentine Industry and Commerce to His Excellency Benito Mussolini," a work published in 1937 in honor of the Italian fascist dictator.
Cristina Fernández, convicted of corruption and responsible for the most scandalous embezzlement in Argentine democratic history, not only bears a heavy judicial and political legacy, but also a library that reveals too much. She appeared in the image together with Gabriela Rivadeneira, former president of the National Assembly of Ecuador. In the same post, she shared images with Ernesto Samper, former president of Colombia.
La condenada, Cristina Kirchner.
The book—whose brown cover stands out clearly on the shelf—was published during the height of the Italian totalitarian regime and celebrates the ties between Argentine business and labor sectors with Benito Mussolini. The publication not only represents a symbol of adherence to fascist ideology, but also reflects the dangerous historical connection between authoritarianism, corporate interests, and certain sectors of national power.
The fact that this piece is part of the former president's and spiritual leader of Kirchnerism's bibliographic collection is not a trivial anecdote: it starkly exposes the ideological matrix underlying a political movement that for years scorned republican institutions, promoted the persecution of the free press, and protected dictatorships such as those in Cuba, Venezuela, or Nicaragua.
La condenada, Cristina Kirchner.
Paradoxically, while the Kirchnerist discourse accuses other sectors of promoting hatred or "neoliberalism," its main figure displays in her home a work that glorifies one of the harshest symbols of twentieth-century European totalitarianism.
