Cristina Kirchner asked that activists not come to her doorstep: "It's full of turtle heads."

Just as the criticism of Milei's government's economic direction and the Minister of Security had subsided, Cristina Kirchner sent a second message to the rally organized by the militants in her defense in Lezama Park. In this encore, the former president made a special request. "Don't come here, the turtleheads are here," Cristina pleaded, after the courts warned her that her house arrest must not disturb the peace in the Constitución neighborhood, where her apartment is located.

A few minutes after 6 p.m. on Friday, the former vice president, from her home at 1111 San José Street, concluded her recorded message to the activists gathered in the park in the south of Buenos Aires. There were approximately 6,000 people listening attentively when she decided to make a logical request: that the activists, once the event was over, not head toward her home on Constitución Street, but instead disperse peacefully and in another direction.

"Since we did a very nice thing in such a beautiful place, we're saying goodbye there. Don't come here, all the turtleheads are here with their cell phones and all that shield stuff and ugly things ," Kirchner said, using a sarcastic epithet to refer to the Federal Police Infantry, which had been deploying a security operation—including a fence—early in the morning at San José 1111.

Beyond the specific request to avoid crowds this afternoon, Cristina's request was to reorganize the activists who, until today, had intermittently gathered below the balcony of her apartment to offer their support and await the former president's greeting.

The apartment on San José Street is where Cristina Kirchner has been held since the Supreme Court upheld her six-year prison sentence last Tuesday, in addition to barring her from holding public office. Since then, it has also become a pilgrimage site for her supporters, who staged barbecues, blocked the street, and hung flags.

In recent hours, the courts have called attention to Cristina's compliance with the three conditions imposed to maintain her house arrest. One of these rules of conduct states that she "must refrain from engaging in behavior that could disturb the tranquility of the neighborhood and/or disrupt the peaceful coexistence of its residents."

The situation prompted the former vice president's defense to request clarification from the Second Federal Court of Justice to determine whether she can appear on the balcony.

This Thursday, the court ruled that she was allowed to leave, but again demanded that she display "sufficient judgment, prudence, and common sense" to avoid disturbing the neighbors. In the same ruling, it confirmed the use of an electronic anklet, a condition Cristina had resisted.

Although Horacio Pietragalla, former Secretary of Human Rights, was at the corner of San José and Humberto Primo to clarify that Cristina would not be appearing on the balcony this Friday, dozens of her supporters remained there and listened, through their phone screens, to the audio messages the former vice president sent from her apartment to Parque Lezama.

This Friday morning, the Ministry of Security carried out a fencing operation around Kirchner's home to prevent further gatherings.

Under these circumstances, the former president requested that the flag-waving demonstration promoted by La Cámpora figures such as Mayra Mendoza, among others, not be held in front of her home and instead be moved to Parque Lezama, just over a kilometer away.

The scene of the militancy in Parque Lezama, in the former president's opinion, represented an image worth portraying, and she let her followers know this at the end of her speech, after asking them not to go to her house: "Let's keep the most beautiful photo, all together in Parque Lezama. There won't be a lack of opportunity to greet each other or meet again in this technological way, because there are things that transcend the machine and transmit good vibes."

The latter sounded pleasant, considering that just minutes earlier he had launched a fierce attack on the Ministry of Security, and with particular intensity against the minister in charge of that ministry, Patricia Bullrich. "I want to tell you what happened around three in the morning, when I woke up to noises that apparently came from the banging of metal in the street. This time it was the Federal Police (PFA), commanded by Bullrich, that nefarious woman, capable of anything; her record proves it."

"He served in every government, every one of them, that caused great pain to the country and to the Argentinians: De la Rúa's, Macri's, and now, as the icing on the cake, Milei's. Damn, what a resume," he continued.

And the onslaught continued, in purely personal terms: "Bullrich did it (post the PFA operation at San José 1111) without a court order and with the clear objective of provoking conflicts, which so far have not occurred. All the demonstrations of these days, including the one that overflowed the Plaza de Mayo and all those on June 18, were peaceful and with respect for private property. Bullrich, like Macri, wants to be in the spotlight because she is a huge failure and never got anywhere, and she caused pain and damage."

Just a short while before, her son, Máximo Kirchner, spoke from Lezama Park, also criticizing the PFA operation: "I saw again how, unfortunately, the Minister of Security, in yet another show, tries to gain prominence that the votes never gave her, and showing once again that she can defend any type of ideas throughout her life, but she never changes her propensity for violence."

Then her mother, who was still following the attack, retorted: "They can send guards here, the Gendarmerie and the Prefecture, but what problem are they going to solve if the people don't eat the police or even Cristina in prison?" For now, despite the police presence, it was Kirchner herself who dissuaded her supporters from visiting her.
