Despite the UN's silence, Kirchnerism still believes there is room for a CFK candidacy.

The UN Human Rights Committee did not address Cristina's brief in the last session. It could address it starting in March. The decision by the UN Human Rights Committee not to rule on the submission made by Cristina Kirchner's lawyers to review her conviction in the Vialidad case deflated the possibility that the former president would receive a favorable ruling that would have an impact on the Argentine political scene and generate pressure on the national justice system to review the verdict. Within her base, there was expectation that the UN's stance would come out in November, but the body closed its ordinary session without addressing it. The reopening of that forum will only be in March. Until then, there will be no news regarding the former head of state's judicial situation concerning the international scrutiny she is seeking. The bitter news was softened within her base with acceptance and without resignation. "It was within the possibilities that this could happen. But we are within the political margins to wait for the March deadline. It would have been good if it came out now, but we are not taking it as a political defeat. The expectation remains," they explained to Infobae near CFK. Vanesa Siley and Jorge Taiana are part of the Committee Cristina Libre, which is in the United States. Far from dropping the idea that Cristina Kirchner could be a candidate for president next year, the space she hosts assures that "time still allows" to project a national candidacy, just as the former leader made clear during her interview with The Washington Post, in which she stated that her will to be a presidential candidate remains in effect. If the primary elections remain for next year's electoral process, around June will be the time when alliances close. And around July, candidacies must be formalized. This is why Kirchnerism resists lowering the banner of "Cristina candidate." As long as the electoral margins hold, the idea will remain floating in the political scene. Especially if Peronism continues to be fragmented and with different roadmaps. Cristinism will maintain expectations until the end, knowing that, in the event that the UN provides a ruling contrary to that confirmed by the Supreme Court, there must be a second step: the validation of that international perspective by the Argentine justice system. It is a long process that contrasts with the time remaining, especially in the informal realm of political maneuvering, to guide next year's national candidacies. The former president assured that she intends to run again in 2027. In parallel, and as the months pass, Cristinism will keep the slogan "Cristina libre" (Cristina free) high, in order to maintain visibility of her judicial situation on the political agenda. This is precisely what Jorge Taina, Vanesa Siley, Franco Metaza, and Delfina Rossi are doing in the United States, as they are part of the International Committee Cristina Libre, formed last year to make her situation visible abroad and gain support from foreign political leaders. The four participated in New York in a conference titled "Politics and Judiciary: warnings from Brazil and Argentina," which was part of the Latin America on the Move cycle. In their intervention, they denounced the use of the judicial system as a "tool of political proscription" and pointed to its "articulation with the economic program" currently in Argentina and "regional interference in Latin America." Deputy Siley's intervention, who is very close to La Cámpora and part of the union world, combined Cristinism's view of the Vialidad case judicial proceedings and its specific weight in the political scene. "The process of judging Cristina is flawed by nullity. All constitutional guarantees were not met. The persecution against her is also due to her gender. They sought to remove her from the political and electoral arena. Why? Because they are losing. Today they would lose again," she stated. On Tuesday, the four leaders met with Pramila Jayapal and Jesús "Chuy" García, members of the U.S. House of Representatives and leaders of the Democratic Party, who expressed their concern about the institutional deterioration of Argentina. In all these meetings, the objective is the same: to make CFK's situation visible globally and to engage in dialogue with the international legal and human rights community. Kirchnerism will keep the banner of "Cristina free and candidate" high (X: @la_campora). The K sector maintains a determining electoral argument in the political discussion ahead of 2027. They have been warning for several months that the former president's positive image has consolidated at levels interesting for a political leader. In all the virtual scenarios drawn, her figure is well-regarded among the opposition options. In some cases, even above Axel Kicillof and Sergio Massa, two opposition figures who, unlike her, may be candidates next year. "For the first time since the recovery of democracy, the country is heading toward a presidential election with the main opposition leader judicially proscribed," stated the members of the commission carrying out the political proposals for CFK's freedom. In this regard, they emphasized that efforts are being made to "exercise political discipline" over the former leader, who "violates international standards regarding human rights." This discursive line, with greater or lesser intermittency, will remain the Cristinista proclamation over time. They will not move from there until the possibilities of Cristina Kirchner having a determining impact in next year's electoral process are exhausted.
