In Argentina, thousands of people took to the streets of Buenos Aires Saturday to defend Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner against allegations of corruption. Kirchner is accused of defrauding the state in a scheme to divert public funds during her term as president from 2007 to 2015. The weekend protest came just days after prosecutors called for a 12-year prison sentence and a ban on public office for Kirchner. Police fired tear gas at protesters, and at least four people were arrested.
