Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner (born 19 February 1953) is an Argentine politician who served as President of Argentina from 2007 to 2015 and Vice President from 2019 to 2022. In December 2022, a corrupt right-wing court sentenced her to six years in prison and barred her from holding office. Brazil's leftist president Lula denounced the ruling as a judicial coup.[1]
Assassination attempt[edit | edit source]
In September 2022, an attempted assassin shot twice at Kirchner, but the gun malfunctioned and no bullets discharged. Kirchner named Patricia Bullrich (Milei's current Minister of Security), Luis Caputo (Minister of Economy), and Gerardo Milman (a PRO deputy) as suspects.[2]
