Amid the increasing pressure from the Government against the Supreme Court, a Kirchner deputy presented in Congress a request for impeachment against the head of the body, Carlos Rosenkrantz, considering that he incurred "
poor performance and possible crimes"
in the exercise of its functions.
The prosecution proposal entered the input table of the Lower House on
September 25
,
three days after
the head of the Court made public his decision to call an extraordinary agreement for the highest court to analyze the request for per saltum of judges
Leopoldo Bruglia, Pablo Bertuzzi and Germán Castelli,
whose transfers to Comodoro Py were canceled by a decree of President Alberto Fernández.
"The Court has the final authority when the constitutionality of the acts of other powers of the State is at stake," said Rosenkrantz after summoning the members of the CSJ.
Finally, days later, the Court declared that the case of the chambermaids and Judge Castelli was admissible and decided to analyze the conflict to intervene.
The project
belongs to Vanessa Siley
, who in addition to being a deputy is a member of the Council of the Magistracy representing the Chamber of Deputies and secretary of the Union of Judicial Workers.
Vanessa Siley.
The initiative is
229 pages long
and contains, in addition to the grounds, several sentences signed by the magistrate who leads the highest court of Justice, whom legislator K accuses of poor performance.
“The current President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Dr. Rosenkrantz,
has seriously frustrated 'the exercise of the rights and guarantees of the Constitution
' by having favored and many times ensured the impunity of those responsible for State terrorism through judgments contrary to current law ”, he argues.
And he adds that "without a doubt, this conduct is improper and contrary to that which should be expected from a magistrate of the highest Court of the Republic, even more so in the case of the president himself."
Siley gives as an example the sentences handed down in the cases against humanity regarding the application of the 2x1 benefit in the “Muiña” and “Rufino Batalla” cases, as well as his intervention in the “Ledesma” file.
Regarding the Muiña case, in which a person convicted of crimes against humanity benefited from 2x1, the deputy claims that "the legal guidelines defended in the vote of Mr. Rosenkrantz are openly contrary to the fundamental guidelines and requirements of international law and of the Argentine constitutional law on the effective and adequate sanction against crimes against humanity. This magistrate has thus incurred an unacceptable poor performance of his functions. "
In the Ledesma file, on the blackout that occurred at the beginning of the dictatorship in the town of General San Martin, Jujuy, during which workers, students, and militants were kidnapped, and in which Carlos Pedro was denied merit Blaquier and Alberto Lemos.
According to Deputy K, although the Court did not rule on the case, there is a link between the wife of the Minister of the Court and a former lawyer for the sugar factory and nephew of the accused because both are part of the ON "Cimientos".
Siley's efforts are part of the pressures that they promoted from the Casa Rosada and even publicly, so that the Court does not endorse the claims of the chambermaids Bruglia and Bertuzzi, who confirmed prosecutions against Vice President Cristina Kirchner in the framework of the case of the notebooks, and of Judge Castelli, who they seek to run from the court that must initiate an oral trial against the former president.
In this regard, recently the Chief of Cabinet, Santiago Cafiero, warned that "it remains to be seen if the Court will act in accordance with the Constitution," as, he assured, the government did when canceling the transfers of those judges that took place during the administration of Mauricio Macri and that they are questioned because they were made without a new agreement from the Senate.
The Government acted in accordance with the National Constitution, the Senate acted in accordance with the National Constitution, the Council of the Magistracy acted in accordance with the National Constitution and, now, what remains is to see if the Court is going to act in accordance with the National Constitution, which is the procedure that is in the Constitution, "said the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers.
