BUENOS AIRES - Argentina’s populist ex-president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, due in court on Tuesday to face accusations of corruption, slammed the trial as a political “smokescreen” aimed at hurting her campaign for vice president in national elections this year.
Fernandez, now a senator with an ardent following, took to Twitter ahead of the trial, firing retorts at her accusers and rival President Mauricio Macri, and defending herself against the allegations which she strongly denies. The allegations could cast a shadow over Fernandez’s political push as she looks to win over the more moderate wing of the Peronist opposition to take on Macri in elections set for October.
