Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner referred for the first time to the bill on "Organization and Competence of the Federal Justice" promoted by the Executive and, with an enigmatic tone, affirmed that "true judicial reform is not the one that we are going to debate this Thursday ”in the Senate.
"I sincerely believe that the country still owes a real judicial reform that is not the one we are going to debate this Thursday," he said, although he added: "The first attitude that the entire Argentine political system should have, whatever its ideological position and party, is to accept that any difference, not only with respect to the organization of the Judicial Power or the need for its reform, but also with respect to any other matter on which there is no agreement, has only one place for discussion and resolution: the Congress of the Nation".
In an extensive post on her website, the former president stated that the initiative promoted by the Government is titled " erroneously as judicial reform," and remarked that in "the last 20 years there have only been two judicial reforms."
“The first was the one I sent to Congress as President in 2013 and which, voted by Parliament, was annulled by the Judiciary itself by affecting its privileges. The second was a reform carried out de facto, without law and against the Constitution . It was done by Mauricio Macri from 2015, when he assumed the Presidency ”, he listed.
According to Cristina, this “de facto reform operative only on the Federal Criminal Justice of the Federal Capital, more specifically on the Comodoro Py courts, and with the dark objective of persecuting and imprisoning political opponents and businessmen . Some of the latter to strip them of their companies and others to settle commercial or even personal issues ”.
Always according to the current vice, in the previous government "a judicial table was created in the orbit of the Executive Branch made up of officials and lawyers of the power whose function was to enter legal cases against opponents in Comodoro Py".
"That 'judicial table' was naturalized in the hegemonic media as if it were an organ extrapolated from the National Constitution," he added.
In addition, he said that "the so-called ' Irurzun Doctrine ' (in reference to Comodoro Py Martin Irurzun's chambermaid) was incorporated, by which the pretrial detention institute was used to apply it to opponents, illegally depriving them of their freedom."
It also indicated that "it began to transfer judges to courts and tribunals for which they had not been appointed, adding to it the non-compliance with the requirements established by the Constitution for the appointment of judges."
Finally, he affirmed that “the AFI became the governing body of the judicial issue through the handling of organic and inorganic agents in the creation of cases, espionage and monitoring of opponents. For them, the funds of the intelligence organization were used that Macri had once again turned into reserved as soon as the government took office.
