Argentina’s Supreme Court is reviewing former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s conviction in the so-called ‘Vialidad’ corruption trial, with a decisive ruling that could define the opposition leader’s political future drawing near. Fernández de Kirchner, 72, has begun campaigning ahead of the September elections in Buenos Aires Province. She is seeking to stand as a candidate for the provincial legislature, though the Supreme Court’s decision will determine whether she is eligible to run.
