This Saturday, led by different expressions of the Frente de Todos (FDT) party, there will be meetings and mobilizations in different squares of Argentina and other countries of the world, in support of Vice-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, for whom the prosecutor of the Vialidad case requested last Monday 12 years of imprisonment and disqualification to hold public office.
