Eviction Unfolds Near Cristina Kirchner’s Residence

Authorities removed a camp from the vicinity of Cristina Kirchner’s home early Sunday. The action, according to a government spokesperson, aimed to restore “normal order” to the neighborhood. This follows anticipation of the former leader’s possible house arrest.

Operation Details

The City of Buenos Aires government spokesperson, Laura Alonso, discussed the early morning operation. The effort involved removing structures and items from the streets near Kirchner’s residence, where she may serve a home prison sentence. Items seized included eight gazebos, six grills, tables, chairs, along with flags and posters.

“8 gacebos were kidnapped, 6 illegal grills, tables, chairs, parade, cleaning the sidewalks and walls of the area, and flags and posters were also kidnapped. The operation was developed normally between 2.30 and 3 in the morning,”

Alonso noted the operation’s purpose was to address “the alteration of the usual and normal order of the life and coexistence of the neighbors.” The use of tents and unauthorized structures in public spaces is a frequent concern in urban areas, with complaints rising 15% last year (City Report, 2024).

Neighborhood Impact

The removal of the camp occurred between 2:30 and 3 AM, officials confirmed. The area had become a gathering point, and the city moved to eliminate disruptions. This intervention aimed to ensure residents’ well-being.

The situation reflects broader issues of public space use and protest rights. Further developments are awaited.
