Approximately a hundred Kirchnerite activists camp outside Austral Hospital in the Greater Buenos Aires locality of Pilar, where President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is scheduled to undergo a surgery to remove a cancerous growth in her thyroid gland.
The young activists mostly belong to Movimiento Evita, but there are members of the Peronist Youth and of organizations linked to Quilmes mayor Francisco Gutiérrez and to José C. Paz mayor Mario Ishii.
The activists stand at the sides of the hospital’s door and more than a hundred metres away from the main building. Their presence stands out particularly to the large banners the hanged.
Another remarkable sighting was that of a large truck belonging to Movimiento Evita, led by picket leader Emilio Pérsico, the same one used by the Head of State as stage during the celebrations of her resounding victory in the night of the presidential elections on October 23rd.
Videos of the President will be screened in the truck on Wednesday.
Security around the are has been tightened, and onlookers and media reporters will have to stand on Perón avenue, because the hospital has been enclosed.
