In the midst of controversy and criticism of the Government-sponsored Justice reform project, the leader of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrió, launched harsh criticism of the advisory commission that President Alberto Fernández appointed, accusing it of lack of ethics two of the most recognized jurists.
These are León Arslanian, who was president of the court that tried the Military Junta in 1985, and Carlos Beraldi, who is currently the attorney for Vice President Cristina Kirchner. For Carrió, both cannot be part of the committee for ethical reasons.
The now former deputy maintained that Arslanian and Beraldi used their "fame and prestige to earn millions defending the corrupt ."
"The commission appointed by the president has people with knowledge of law. Not of constitutional law, except for some, but of criminal law. Arslanian and Beraldi have knowledge, I have known them for more than 30 years. The problem of knowledge is if you have ethics "began his critic Carrió, in an audio that he published from his Twitter account.

I cannot accept a position when I am defending people involved in corruption crimes equivalent to treason against the fatherland under the terms of 36 of the constitution. I cannot ethically, you cannot legally by influence peddling. "
This is how Carrió pointed out against Beraldi, who also worked during the trial of the military leadership and has long been the defender of the former president in the cases he faces due to corruption.
Insisting on the lack of ethics, Carrió pointed out that "Arslanian lost it long ago".
"In the political corporation there have been two great defenders of crimes and two of them were members of the board that judged the military junta, and of that fame and prestige they used to earn millions, defending the corrupt. This is not the case," he sentenced. Carrió.
There are 11 experienced attorneys appointed by the president to serve on the committee. He will have 90 days to give his opinion regarding the judicial reform project.
