The deputies of the Civic Coalition-ARI, led by Elisa Carrió,

will request the impeachment of the Vice President of the Nation, Cristina Kirchner

, for the causes of

"alteration of the democratic order"

and actions of "institutional gravity", advanced sources of his party to

Clarín

.

The request, which will be presented in the next few days, will follow two criminal complaints that denounce Cristina's pressure on Justice.

Carrió's deputies, led by Paula Oliveto, are preparing the letter to request that Congress carry out a political trial with a view to her removal of Cristina Kirchner for the letter last week in which she

attacked the members of the Supreme Court

and for

"Take power"

from President Alberto Fernández with a series of measures in recent months.

For the Carrió bench, which is part of the Together for Change bloc, the vice president with a series of measures that she promoted in search of “her impunity and that of her children” of the eight prosecutions she has in cases of corruption and the Pact with Iran.

According to Carrió, Cristina knows that her "impunity plan" has failed, so far and that is why now she is analyzing

the possibility of promoting a political trial of the members of the Court or proposing an expansion of the 5 to 9 members of the highest court

to put militant judges in those places.

According to this analysis, Cristina is concerned because as vice president

"she does not have immunity from arrest," a

privilege she did have when she was a senator until December of last year.

If the impeachment is eventually accepted, the Chamber of Deputies must play the role of prosecutor for the accused vice president and the Senate of judges to decide if it is finally sanctioned.

According to this analysis, Cristina (67 years old) would eventually be sentenced in causes such as Cuadernos de las Coimas or the allocation of 3 billion dollars in public works contracts in favor of Lázaro Báez after he turns 70.

So, in this case he would serve house arrest.

Carrió promoted this request for impeachment, after the ARI Civic Coalition held a Federal Congress last week, in which it re-elected national deputy Maximiliano Ferraro as president, Mariana Zuvic as vice president and Maricel Etchecoin as president of the party national Assembly .

"It is a pride to return to preside over this party in which we are sure that the main thing

is to build a different Argentina

. In 2021 we can begin to travel again, the path of a change that we already achieved in 2015, together with the former president (Mauricio ) Macri, 'Lilita' (Carrió), the Unión Cívica Radical, the PRO and each one of us, "said Ferraro when speaking to the delegates.

The meeting was held at the Palais Rouge, where Ferraro, the new president of the bloc of national deputies Juan Manuel López, Zuvic, the provincial deputy for Buenos Aires, Maricel Etchecoin;

the Buenos Aires deputies Facundo del Gaiso;

Cecilia Ferrero;

Claudio Cingolani;

Lucía Romano and Hernán Reyes;

the former national deputy Fernando Sánchez and the Buenos Aires auditor Juan Calandri.

In addition, 150 leaders from all over the country participated remotely in the Congress.

"It is good that there are

different leaderships

within Together for Change, which allows us to grow looking at 2021 and 2023, and that is where the CC ARI must have a central place in the conformation of the different leaderships. Many times we strive more for the uniformity that unanimously, are two different things, we have to understand it to strengthen our democracy and institutions, "said the president of the ARI Civic Coalition.

And, in that sense, he added: "In the CC ARI and in Together for Change we must not give up the nuances, we must ask ourselves what to do with all these differences and together think about the diversity of the problems and challenges that we have. ahead in Argentina ".

Carrió, through a video, congratulated Ferraro and the new authorities of the party and the bloc of national deputies of the CC ARI.

"No one can say that this

nineteen-year-old

party is Elisa Carrió's party. It is a party with the most professional, educated and ethical leaders that the national parliaments have," he stressed.
