“I ask you to continue organizing, because it is essential that the people organize around the Church, the club, the school cooperative, around the fact that we do not ignore each other, and that we understand that the only strength we have is in the collective. And that God, I am absolutely convinced, will end up helping the Argentine people,” Cristina Kirchner remarked in a speech she improvised at a retirement center.
In the same area, the former president said that the organization serves “to prevent drug trafficking from continuing to advance, as it continued to advance in all our neighborhoods, as a result of the State withdrawing.” Cristina Kirchner added: “I want to tell you that I will always be with you, with a lot to offer everyone.” Father “Tano” is one of the leaders of the “villager priests”, the sector of the Argentine Church closest to the Pope Francis.

The surprise appearance of Cristina Kirchner in a deprived area of La Matanza took place in the same week in which Justice is expected to confirm her sentence of six years in prison in the road cause.

However, all the political gestures of Cristina Kirchner and her entourage encourage speculation about her probable inclusion in Peronism’s electoral offer for next year’s legislative elections in the province of Buenos Aires. Kirchnerism has its stronghold in Third Section of the suburbs, which covers the municipalities of the south and west of Greater Buenos Aires, and which has La Matanza as the district in which the PJ has never lost since the recovery of democracy in 1983.
