The order that comes out is that Kirchner's ban is to be able to leave his home without any authorization, go to the balcony or even generate some discomfort in the area where he lives. This last point is due to the fact that, since the ruling of the Argentine Justice was known last week, the former president has been receiving protesters in favor of her or militants of her party who conglomerate outside her home to be able to see her.
On the other hand, in addition to having the electronic surveillance device that will have on the ankle, the Criminal Control and Assistance Directorate will keep Cristina in surveillance every three months by putting as a condition that, if it does not respect the rules, the decision of the household prison could be revoked and move on to a common prison.
