Lula was in Buenos Aires for the summit of the regional Mercosur trade alliance and made the short trip to Fern\u00e1ndez\u2019s home in Argentina\u2019s capital after the meeting concluded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lula was inside with Fern\u00e1ndez for just under an hour and they did not appear publicly together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It was not Lula\u2019s first show of support for Fern\u00e1ndez since Argentina\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/argentina-de-kirchner-supreme-court-sentence-ef593f1f06cdc98ca084dad45d9e54e4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Supreme Court upheld her sentence last month;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Supreme Court upheld her sentence last month<\/a>.

The sentence also permanently bans her from holding public office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fern\u00e1ndez dominated Argentine politics for two decades and forged the country\u2019s main left-wing populist movement known as Kirchnerism, after her and her husband, former President N\u00e9stor Kirchner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lula has also faced imprisonment. While he was held in a police station in Curitiba in 2019, also for corruption, he received then-Argentinian presidential candidate Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez, a political ally of Cristina Fern\u00e1ndez who is not related to her.
