In the lead up to the key debate that the Supreme Court of Justice will hold next week to rule on the removal of three chambermaids, President Alberto Fernández intensified his criticism against the head of the highest court Carlos Rosenkrantz and asked him:
"What is it that Looking For?".
"What is the dilemma that the president of the Court has, what is he looking for. I wonder because really anyone who has studied law knows that this is a legal scandal," Fernández questioned.
The Head of State thus redoubled his criticism against Rosenkrantz for accelerating the treatment of the claims raised by the chambermaids Leopoldo Bruglia and Pablo Bertuzzi against the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) that annulled their transfers.
"It draws my attention and worries me about the comments that come to me, about things that are seen inside the Court, it worries me enormously, because the truth is that all we are doing is reestablishing a lost order in the previous government" Fernandez said.
The President justified the efforts that his Government took to review the appointments of a series of judges and, above all, those of Bruglia and Bertuzzi who were appointed by former President Mauricio Macri.
"What would happen if today for the court of (Claudio) Bonadio, which is vacant, I looked for a federal judge that I like and I put him in that place? And what would happen if he looked for the four vacancies in the Federal Chamber to judges that I like in federal courts and I make them a chambermaid by decree? "he inquired.
Followed, Fernández assured that this situation would unleash a "scandal."
"That's what they did. And if I wanted to take advantage of the scandalous they did, I wouldn't be doing anything," he completed.
"I
could legitimately look for an oral judge that I like, those who call K judges, I don't know if they exist but they once existed,
" he added in statements to
Radio 10.
Fernández denied that the removal of these magistrates responds to political objectives and revealed: "I have known one of those judges who is displaced since I was 17 years old, I have had a personal relationship, but beyond that what happened is incomprehensible to me" .
"It is an institutional problem. If I were a scoundrel, what I would do is pretend to be distracted and fill the vacancies in the Federal Chamber with judges that I find nice," he insisted.
Minutes earlier, Alberto Fernández took advantage of an act to target the head of the Supreme Court for
"not understanding the dimension of the problem" of gender violence.
"The Micaela law rebuilds us to understand the harmful effects of gender violence. I see with provocation that in the federal state, two of the three branches (Executive and Legislative) have made progress in implementing that law, but in the Judicial Branch we have We asked the President of the Court (Carlos Rosenkrantz) to please deal with the issue and we only received silence, "said the president.
