“I believe that Cristina will not be a candidate,” Kirchner said.

It was also rumored that she would instead vie for a national Senatorial seat on behalf of the Province of Buenos Aires, for which she would have enough support to remain a beneficiary of parliamentary immunity.
“We come from a lot of violent events in different situations, the responsibility that one feels is to take care of one's own colleagues,” Congressman Kirchner said in a radio interview.
He also said that after the murder attempt on his mother, he was advised to wear a bulletproof vest, but he declined, saying that if it came down to that, then “it is not the country in which I want to live.”
