Former President Cristina Kirchner blasted Security Minister Patricia Bullrich after police surrounded her home early Friday morning. She called Bullrich a failure and accused her of trying to create street chaos. Kirchner said the massive security operation reminded her of similar incidents from 2022. The former president moved her supporters' rally from outside her house to nearby Lezama Park.
Kirchner woke up around 3 AM to noise from federal police setting up barriers around her residence. She sent an audio message to followers gathered at the park after the location change. The former leader said Bullrich wants to distract people from Argentina's economic problems. She pointed to rising unemployment rates and criticized government spending cuts on education and healthcare.
Her son Maximo spoke to the crowd before his mother's message played. He told supporters to stay disciplined against what he called unfair legal decisions. Mayor Mayra Mendoza had promoted the original protest through social media before organizers switched venues. The event marked 205 years since national flag creator Manuel Belgrano died.
Kirchner faces house arrest at her Buenos Aires apartment under court orders. She filed complaints against Bullrich for alleged political persecution through the heavy police presence. The former president asked supporters not to gather outside her home to avoid conflicts. She warned against falling for what she termed Bullrich's violent provocations.
