Brazil’s Lula visits Fernández de Kirchner under house arrest in Argentina
- On July 2, 2025, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil, arrived in Buenos Aires to take part in the MERCOSUR summit and received court permission to visit former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who is under house arrest.
- The visit authorization followed Fernandez de Kirchner's request and Judge Jorge Gorini's approval amid her six-year corruption sentence and house arrest conditions requiring permission for visits.
- Lula's visit to Argentina is his first since Javier Milei assumed office as president in late 2023, and no one-on-one discussions between the two leaders are planned during the summit.
- Lula reaffirmed his vision that integration must focus on social justice, environmental responsibility, and reducing inequality, while Milei criticized MERCOSUR as an 'ideological prison' and called Lula a 'corrupt' and 'Communist'.
- The meeting could signal solidarity amid political tensions, and Brazil assumes the MERCOSUR pro tempore presidency, while Fernandez de Kirchner remains barred from public office for life after her upheld conviction.
