Cristina Kirchner, Argentina’s former leftist president, has said she will run for a provincial legislative seat, which would grant her immunity as she fights a corruption conviction. Kirchner, 72, was sentenced to six years imprisonment in 2022 for fraud in the awarding of tenders for public works during her 2007-2015 presidency. The Supreme Court is considering her appeal, which also targets a ban on her holding public office.
