Cristina Kirchner is maddened by not being able to get Justice to do

what she wants it to do or needs it to do

.

And he does not hide it or worry about hiding it.

He writes it.

Nor is she worried about the cost paid by Alberto Fernández, who, due to one of his political manipulations, put him where he is and to do what she needs him to do.

No revolution:

just get it out of the judicial swamp

.

Time

runs against him

and his letters are increasingly furious.

The last one was with an explicit address, the Court, and recipients with the first and last names of each of its judges, who are fighting with each other and to whom it contributes paradoxically to befriend them.

It also has an implicit recipient and not so implicit that it is the president himself.

Cristina clearly tells the judges and Fernández, in case they don't know, that here she is the one who sets the rules.

The point is that you are opening the doors to

much more than a personal conflict of interest

.

Without saying so, he says: I am here to change democracy from the defect of having judges, which of the three powers is the only one that does not go to elections.

There are things about Cristina that do not resist the slightest debate or that raise the greatest of suspicions, such as the proposal that the judges be elected by the people.

We elected Kirchnerist government and in the same act Kirchnerist judges.

And business over

.

The curious is not at all curious and

becomes very dangerous for democracy

.

The crisis climbs from political to institutional when the vice president attacks the Court and Fernández thinks of saying that the judges act "with astonishing discretion."

Faced with what Cristina says is the same as saying nothing or saying that the next one passes.

Or worse:

let's keep pretending that what the president and vice president do is something normal in a democracy

.

Cristina and Alberto are like those marriages that can't stand each other but are still together and don't get divorced because of their children.

And that they have only been married for a year.

Cristina accumulates 14 appeals in court, but one is the one that interests her: the highway case, the only trial that has begun and that she seeks to stop on the grounds that the crime of corruption has already been tried in Santa Cruz.

It also tries to stop it by asking for an expert opinion on all the works in question.

Read clearly: an interminable expertise, years.

And with a main actor: scandalously, Lázaro Báez

.

Fernández

bets on the time to sleep the fight but he cannot avoid it

, among other things because Cristina makes him go off the alarm clock all the time.

In hours, he lowered the formula for the pensions that he had agreed with the Fund and the project of not doing the STEP.

And since he was there, he ordered him to keep silent about the trout elections in Venezuela, which is a way of understanding how Cristina plays and also

where Cristina is taking us

.

The worst thing is that we are all awaiting this fight while in the midst of the pandemic we are sinking into an endless economic and social crisis.
