In the midst of the controversy generated by the harsh letter from Vice President Cristina Kirchner against Justice, the Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero tried to minimize the impact of the challenges to the Supreme Court of Justice and denied that the Government is thinking of asking for impeachment. to the ministers of the highest court.
"No, not at all.
We are not thinking about these types of questions
. We have no request presented and neither a requirement of those characteristics. Not at all," Cafiero emphasized when asked if the Executive was thinking of a political trial of the judges of the Court.
In an interview with radio
La Red
, Cafiero considered that the letters that Cristina Kirchner writes are "of great political depth that what they seek is to promote public debate and they achieve it."
In the letter, which was the second from the vice president in the year after the one she wrote on October 27, on the 10th anniversary of the death of Néstor Kirchner and one of the electoral triumph with Alberto Fernández, Cristina pointed out against the operation of the Court and mainly aimed against the appointment of Carlos Rosenkrantz.

"Something similar is not remembered in the history of the Judicial Power of the Nation,"
launched the head of the Senate.
In addition, Cafiero said that in the Frente de Todos (FdT) there has always been a debate on the "role of Justice" so that it is "more independent" and is not at the mercy of "the vagaries of political moods or of the big business conglomerates because that makes Justice look blurred and lose prestige. "
Likewise, he analyzed that "Justice is a power that is not chosen by popular vote and the other two powers are, and the only thing that lives its legitimacy is its prestige"
In this context, he argued that "when you see actions that go against that prestige and that clearly pursue political intentions or social moods, what happens is that
you begin to believe less and less

However, he pointed out that "it is not necessary to fall into the discussion of justice against big businessmen or against big figures or against politicians, but rather in the ordinary courts."
For this reason, Cafiero reaffirmed that "the entire justice system has been put into question by the Frente de Todos from the first day" and considered that the Supreme Court "in some circumstances loses prestige because it is not clear when it has to act and when no".
"Sometimes that is very arbitrary and it affects their prestige" and he singled out the fact that "the transfer, not even the removal of anyone, of three judges, has been taken all the time as a matter of institutional gravity", referring to the magistrates Leopoldo Bruglia, Pablo Bertuzzi and Germán Castelli.
