The Supreme Court of Argentina on Tuesday upheld a six -year jail sentence for former President Christina Fernandez’s crime. Along with this, he has been disqualified from holding any public position.
This decision is considered a major setback for Fernandez, the leading leader of the Peronism ideology, which has been one of the most influential figures of Argentina politics in the last two decades.
After this decision of the court, the sword of arrest is also hanging on them. Fernandez took over the reins of the country in 2007 after her husband Nestar Kirchen and was President for eight years. There was no limit to government expenses during his tenure and a huge budgetary deficit increased.

In March 2024, Fernandez applied to the Supreme Court to review the sentence, which was rejected by a three -judge bench. Due to this, she will not be able to participate in the proposed parliamentary elections in September this year. Reacting to the verdict, the court said, “This punishment protects our democratic and democratic system.
