The ANSES (National Social Security Administration) is seeking the return of the millions of pesos that Cristina Kirchner received in pensions.

The Government decided to move forward with the recovery of nearly one billion pesos that former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner received in recent years for retirement and pension as the widow of former President Néstor Kirchner, by initiating the formal procedure through ANSES to activate the measure.

On Wednesday, federal judge Karina Alonso Candis rejected a request for an injunction filed by the former president to have the pension she received from Néstor Kirchner during his presidency from 2003 to 2007 reinstated.

The former president received almost 22 million pesos gross per month, including her retirement and Néstor Kirchner's pension.

The Government cancelled the allowances that Cristina Fernández received from ANSeS in November 2024.

At that time, Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni explained that the benefit provided by Law 24,018 for former presidents and vice presidents of the Nation " is granted on an exceptional and extraordinary basis as consideration for honor, merit and good performance in office," while "Ms. Cristina Kirchner was convicted by the Criminal Cassation Chamber, in the Vialidad Case, as the perpetrator of the crime of fraudulent administration," a sentence that "represents the opposite of honor, merit and good performance."

Cristina Kirchner filed a complaint, first with ANSES (the Argentine social security administration), which was rejected, and then in court, which met the same fate. She argued that these pensions could only be revoked in the event of impeachment proceedings, which did not occur in her case; instead, it was a direct decision by the President.

This Friday, the ministry headed by Sandra Pettovello announced that it formally began "the implementation of the effective recovery of the sums unduly received by the city of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, corresponding to lifetime allowances (retirement and pension), with their respective interest."

Cristina Kirchner's former vice president, Amado Boudou , also lost his privileged pension in November 2024, due to his conviction for passive bribery and negotiations incompatible with public office in the Ciccone case.

Boudou received a privileged pension of 8.1 million pesos net , according to a request for access to public information requested from ANSES by the Chequeado portal.

According to ANSeS resolution 1103/2024 , "the fact that he was found guilty of a crime against the public administration in the exercise of his public function, made it inadmissible that he could continue to receive, directly or indirectly, privileged allowances from which he benefited."

Last June, the Ministry of Human Capital also initiated a lawsuit against Boudou to recover 236 million pesos "plus its pertinent update", for the privileged pension he received while he was convicted of corruption.
