Buenos Aires - In an emotional video broadcast on social media, Argentina''s former President Cristina Fernandez denounced how the fierce political persecution against her daughter, currently under treatment in Cuba, weakened her health condition.

The former president posted a message on Twitter some few hours before leaving for Havana, where Florencia Kirchner remains hospitalized since March 7 with poor health, which prohibits her from sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time.

In the video where she is heard with a broken voice at times, the current senator for the Unidad Ciudadana party described how, due to all her daughter has suffered in recent times, even accused of being part of an illegal association, she has damaged her physical state.

In the four-minute message, Fernandez also complains that once again 'not only the rights of citizens who are opposed to the government of Mauricio Macri are violated in the courts of Comodoro Py, but also all rights of our sons and daughters are violated.'

The former president, who has denounced being a victim of an unprecedented political and judicial persecution -asigned on Thursday in eight different cases-, explained that a medical certificate on Florencia's health condition was presented at courts, to which her own daughter attended once she was cited.

Result of the fierce persecution to which she was subjected, Florencia began some time ago to have severe health problems and the brutal stress she suffered devastated her body.

Cristina stated that Florencia -who studied film- was invited on December 5, 2018, to the Havana Festival to present the documentary 'El Camino de Santiago', of which she was a co-writer and received an award.

Florencia returned to Argentina and traveled again to Cuba in February to take an intensive course for scriptwriter that would take place between February 18 and March 8. However, the former president explained, she could not even start it because when she arrived after the flight, her health condition had noticeably deteriorated.

Therefore, she had to evaluate and treat her and she was forbidden on March 7 to travel by plane for the time being because, due to the pathology she suffers, she cannot sit or stand for prolonged periods of time.

Several media reported Wednesday night that the former president had submitted a note to travel to Havana, where she would be for one week.
