A man points a pistol at point-blank range at Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the suspect failed to shoot and was apprehended, on the night of Thursday, September 1, 2022, when the former president was about to arrive at her residence, among protesters.
An armed man tried to assassinate Cristina Kirchner.
The attacker, a Brazilian national, pointed a gun at her head tonight in front of her house.
In the television images, a man can be seen firing her gun, but without a shot being fired, which allowed her to get out of it unharmed.
The incident occurred in front of the former president's building, where hundreds of protesters have been gathering for days to support her in the midst of a trial against her for alleged corruption.
"When hate and violence prevail over the debate of ideas, they destroy societies and generate situations like today's: an assassination attempt," Economy Minister Sergio Massa said in a tweet.
