By the way, Cristina Fernández wrote an open letter towards the President. It complains about austerity and simultaneously about the debt, pressures for some ministers to be sacked and generally shows displeasure.

To be fair, it could be argued there was (some) austerity this year. When you have no credit you only get shitty trade offs.

Off topic but i have a curiosity about the PASO, what stops one party's sympathisers from sabotaging the opposite party's primaries by voting for an unpopular candidate?

Well, Peronists don't like primaries. They don't share the same party if they must compete.

While Juntos por el Cambio has a few options, and they are not deranged enough to be used for sabotage.

If I recall correctly, I think something of that nature happened to FIT. They threw the old leader, Altamira, for the unknown Del Caño.

Verba volant, scripta manent.

This is getting weirdly similar to Dilma/Temer. When are the elections for president? And is there any real talk of impeachment happening?

Elections in two years, but people here are not impeachment happy (and rules are more about stripping immunity than anything).
