The suspicions have been confirmed: Argentina's head of state Alberto Fernández described the incident in front of Vice President Cristina Kirchner's apartment building as an assassination attempt. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. local time, a man attempted an assassination on the life of the 69-year-old, Fernández said late Thursday evening in a television speech to the population.
The attacker aimed a gun at the former president's head in a crowd and pulled the trigger. But no shot was fired. According to media reports, the politician was unharmed.
"Cristina is still alive because the gun, which contained five bullets, did not fire for a reason that has not yet been technically confirmed, even though the trigger was pulled," said the President. It is the most serious incident since Argentina's return to democracy in 1983.
There is also a video of the incident in the capital, Buenos Aires, as well as screenshots from the film showing the gun being held at Kirchner at close range. The suspected assassin was arrested. A pistol was secured from the 35-year-old, Interior Minister Aníbal Fernández told the newspaper "Clarín".
The man drew the gun when the former head of state (2007-2015) was taking a bath in the crowd in front of her apartment on Thursday evening (local time), local media reported unanimously.
In the past few days, chaotic scenes had taken place in front of Kirchner's apartment in the elegant Recoleta district of the capital, Buenos Aires. Numerous supporters of the vice president are currently camping out in support of the popular politician. In a recent corruption trial against Kirchner, prosecutors had demanded twelve years in prison and a lifetime ban from public office. She is said to have been the leader of a criminal organization and brought the state around a billion US dollars.
Together with her late husband and ex-president Néstor Kirchner, she procured a whole series of public contracts for a friend of hers, without a tender. Part of the excessive construction costs flowed back to the Kirchners later. The Vice President rejects the allegations and accuses the judiciary of investigating against her for political reasons.
