Vice-president CFK ruled out running as a candidate in this year's general elections.

"I have already given everything I had to give," the former president, who governed Argentina for two terms between 2007 and 2015, said during a rally in La Plata.

"President no" she replied to the thousands of supporters present who were calling for her bid on this year's vote.

She explained that I am "condemned, banned, disqualified and with an attempt to be assassinated".

She was referring to a corruption trial against her that she considers political persecution and the failed assassination last September.

The vice president drops out of the electoral race a week after President Alberto Fernández announced that he would not seek re-election.

In her speech, Cristina Kirchner also assured that the agreement Argentina signed in 2022 with the IMF is inflationary.

She also questioned the project to dollarise the economy proposed by opposition presidential candidate Javier Milei.

She compared the initiative with the convertibility scheme in force in the 1990s, which established a one-to-one parity with the dollar.

"We are discussing what failed 20 years ago," said the former president.

That system, Fernández de Kirchner recalled, exploded in the face of 40 million Argentines, with unemployment and confiscation of bank deposits".
