Cristina wants to surrender on Wednesday and is pressuring the governors and the CGT to support her.

Kirchnerism pressured the CGT and called its leadership to a meeting on Tuesday at the PJ headquarters to join Cristina Kirchner's defense plan following the Supreme Court ruling upholding her conviction in the Vialidad case. At the same time, it also scheduled a meeting with the governors to make a gesture toward the former president , who remains holed up in her home in the Constitución neighborhood.

The PJ National Council met this Thursday at an expanded meeting chaired by Sergio Massa and Máximo Kirchner. They agreed to convene the union leadership meeting for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m., represented by the triumvirate consisting of Héctor Daer, Carlos Acuña, and Octavio Argüello, along with a dozen other leaders.

The CGT leadership has already rejected pressure from Kirchnerist unions to call a national strike in support of Cristina, but will support the mobilization that Kirchnerism is initially planning for next Wednesday at the Comodoro Py courts when the former president surrenders to serve her sentence for corruption.

At the same time, at the meeting held at the PJ headquarters, it was also agreed to convene a meeting with the governors for the same Tuesday, following the meeting with the labor union . The idea is for this summit to include the participation of Axel Kicillof (Buenos Aires), Ricardo Quintela (La Rioja), Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), Gerardo Zamora (Santiago del Estero), Sergio Ziliotto (La Pampa), Gildo Insfrán (Formosa), and Gustavo Melella (Tierra del Fuego).

It's not guaranteed to be in person , and according to party sources, the meeting will most likely be held via Zoom with the intention of delivering a message of support to the former president.

So far, Cristina has met with Kicillof and Quintela . Even this Thursday, there was a short circuit because the governor of Buenos Aires received a call from Senator José Mayans hours before the meeting, informing him that the meeting was not for governors and that he planned to call them for another meeting. However, in the afternoon, Quintela visited the building on Matheu Street and justified his participation by saying that he was summoned as president of the Riojan PJ (Party of the People's Party).

The truth is that Kicillof's relationship with Kirchnerism and La Cámpora remains tense . The former president's followers continue to criticize the governor for having split the provincial elections, and they made their point at Monday's meeting, when Cristina convened leaders, legislators, and mayors, as well as at Tuesday's meeting when the Court's ruling was announced and Kicillof only spent 15 minutes at the PJ headquarters.

Thursday's meeting had an expanded panel that included social leader Juan Grabois , former Secretary of Commerce Guillermo Moreno , who was estranged from the former president, and Lavagnist Alejandro "Topo" Rodríguez, who competed on the list of Cordoba's Juan Schiaretti in the last elections.

What was striking was the absence of representatives from the CGT, as only the leaders most closely aligned with Kirchnerism were present, such as metalworker Abel Furlán, congressman and leader of Smata, Mario Manrique, congresswoman and judicial representative Vanesa Siley, and Daniel Catalano of ATE. Therefore, one of the measures was to convene the trade union center.

In addition, it was agreed to create a committee composed of the PJ council, allied parties, unions, and the party's provincial representatives. Initially, the Peronist party will go to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights because "political rights were violated." "After the judicial action comes social support" for the former president, explained Massista deputy Diego Giuliano, who emphasized the unity of Peronism.

The central idea of ​​the action plan is to call for a mass march when Cristina has to appear in the Retiro courts . "On Wednesday, we're going to accompany Cristina when she goes to Comodoro Py," announced the ultra-K Oscar Parrilli.

During the meeting, Juan Grabois raised the possibility of not participating in the upcoming legislative elections in October, but he didn't receive the support of the rest of the board. Even Massa harangued: " We must compete and win in every district ."

At the end of the summit, the UTEP leader defended Cristina, saying she is "an innocent woman" and called for a peaceful sit-in in front of the Palace of Justice.

Beyond the protests being prepared to reject the Court's ruling, one of the points under discussion was Cristina's continued leadership of the Partido Juventud (PJ). For now, the former president will remain at the helm of the party, and the possibility of amending the party's charter to confirm her leadership of the movement has not been ruled out.

Also attending Thursday's meeting were Peronist figures such as Aníbal Fernández, Agustín Rossi, Jorge Capitanich, Juan Manuel Olmos (president of the AGN), and mayors Mayra Mendoza (Quilmes), Mariel Fernández (Moreno), Federico Otermín (Lomas de Zamora), and Gustavo Menéndez (Merlo).

Also present were Sergio Berni, Cecilia Moreau, Felipe Solá, Nicolás Trotta, Julián Domínguez, and Camporistas Paula Penacca and Anabel Fernández Sagasti. Also representing the Massismo were Malena and Sebastián Galmarini.

They were joined by Teresa García, the president of the Union for the Homeland House of Representatives, Facundo Tignanelli, who arrived after Máximo Kirchner, along with provincial senator Emmanuel González Santalla, both from La Cámpora.
