Overview
- ANSES told the court on Friday that it will reinstate a gross monthly pension of 15,683,154.06 pesos for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner effective August 1, 2026.
- The agency will apply a 20% automatic recovery discount, exclude the 'zona austral' housing supplement because she is in domiciliary detention, and withhold 3,136,630.81 pesos per month until 660,052,338.87 pesos are recovered.
- Kirchner is serving a six-year sentence in the Vialidad case under house arrest at her San José 1111 residence, which the government cites to argue she is ineligible for the exceptional ex‑president pension under Law 24.018.
- The Ministry of Capital Humano and ANSES say they will comply with the judicial precautionary order but have filed appeals with the Supreme Court seeking to overturn the reinstatement.
- The dispute highlights a wider clash between court-ordered provisional relief and executive efforts to block privileges for officials convicted of crimes, and it could determine whether the state recovers hundreds of millions in alleged overpayments.
