The Bar Association of the City of Buenos Aires questions the nomination of Ariel Lijo for the Supreme Court of Justice. In a letter sent to the Council of the Judiciary, the lawyers demand access to the cases involving the federal judge.
They also require "in light of the records that exist there, an audit on the actions of Judge Julián Ercolini in that case" that focuses on his colleague in the Comodoro Py courts. The letter recalls that the case that originated Carrió's complaint is a "complaint of illicit association" that "was ignored in the investigation" by the court in charge of the case. "In this report, severe suspicions and inconsistencies would be raised with an eye on the applicant," the Bar Association says in its letter to the highest court's president. "This College denounced these events," they reproached the Judiciary. "It is public knowledge that a large number of civil society entities and groups, including this College, have severely objected to the new nomination of the aforementioned judge"
