With a first series of speakers, the ruling party advanced in the Senate Justice commission with the treatment of the reform of the Public Prosecutor's Office Law.

Kirchnerism decided to

prioritize that debate

before the file of the appointment of Daniel Rafecas as Attorney General.

The opposition legislators

decided to participate

in the meeting, in the middle of the discussion started by Elisa Carrió.

"A profound reorganization is coming and the first Prosecutor of the accusatory system

is good that he has broad support

from the Senate," began Alberto Binder, head of the Institute for Comparative Studies in Criminal and Social Sciences.

“The Procurator has to confront enormous powers that be, which express themselves through politics.

You have to cover his back,

”he reinforced the defense of the current two-thirds requirement for his nomination.

The meeting was chaired by Oscar Parrilli, head of the Justice Commission.

"It does not seem bad to me that we think of the Attorney General

linked to the Executive Power

and limited in his term," continued Maximiliano Rusconi, former attorney general and attorney for Julio De Vido.

Martín Lousteau and Guadalupe Tagliaferri asked him questions related to the requirements for his appointment, two-thirds of the votes or a lesser requirement.

“I didn't think about it.

If there is going to be a reduction in the mandate, it would

underline the appointment less and focus on parliamentary control

, established by the bicameral commission, ”Rusconi replied.

As

Clarín said

, Kirchnerism for the moment

ignores Carrió's move

and the debate that it generated in Together for Change around the Rafecas statement and continues with its plan to change the law of the Public Ministry and lower the majority to appoint the Procurator .

"First we are going to discuss the law of the Public Prosecutor's Office

and only then will we see the appointment of the Attorney General," they confirmed in the Senate. 

At the middle of the meeting, María Sacnún intervened, questioning Carrió.

“I am glad that we are giving this debate.

Inevitably it is the Senate that has to give it.

The rostrum is called the Twelve.

Here it seems that there was

a senator without a bench, like the Twelve of the Senate

, who has been awarded the power to tell us when we have to agree ”, assured the Kirchner legislator, and advanced:“ Elisa Carrió apparently was one of those who consumed part of the information that the AFI illegally crossed with some prosecutors to set up cases ”.

The last speaker was Daniel Erbetta, Minister of the Supreme Court of Santa Fe. “Six years is an adequate period.

We need very strong controls, a strengthened internal audit.

The issue of majorities does not seem decisive to me

, because the periodicity would already be limiting.

Yes, for removal there would have to be an aggravated majority ”, he said.

The members of the commission for the opposition decided to participate in the meeting, after a previous discussion of the interblock.

They had analyzed not attending because of the request - not accepted by the ruling party - to withdraw the projects presented by Lousteau and Lucila Crexell.

A few hours earlier, Carrió upped the ante with criticism of radical legislators.

“I share with Mauricio Macri that the decision and historical responsibility in relation to the appointment of the Attorney General and the treatment of the Lousteau law corresponds to the senators of Together for Change.

This is how I transmitted it to Naidenoff 60 days ago, ”tweeted the founder of the Civic Coalition.

As

Clarín said

, the former president moderated his rejection of the possibility of endorsing Rafecas, although he referred to the

"unease"

generated in the upper house deadlock after Carrió's movements and the support of the PRO sector led by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta .

“Freedom of expression protects me as a citizen of the Nation, and I never did secrecy;

what I say in private I say in public and I do not hide it from the public, "added the former deputy.

Both Lousteau and Naidenoff avoided answering the questions.

The next meeting will be on Monday, with exhibitors proposed by the opposition.

In principle, the ruling party

showed no hurry

to get an opinion.

"We are going to wait for the advisory council that advises the President to be issued," they advanced in the Frente de Todos.
