The day after the speech in which Alberto Fernández questioned Justice, the repercussions continue at Casa Rosada.
While a sector of the hard kirchnerismo insisted on Tuesday to form a joint commission that controls the judiciary, the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo "Wado" Peter, backed the president in his criticism and sent a message to judges and prosecutors: "
They transform or it's time to go
. "
Although it was during a ceremony in which the creation of Comprehensive Territorial Policy Centers was announced and in his speech he was linked to gender issues, Cristina Kirchner's extremely trusted official
left a message that went further in terms of the operation of the justice
.
"There are actors from the Judiciary and the security forces who have direct responsibility for femicides," he stated at the beginning of the strongest section of his speech on a stage in which he was accompanied by the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta;
but also by two of the leaders closest to Fernández: the chief of staff, Santiago Cafiero;
and the Secretary of Strategic Affairs, Gustavo Beliz.
"The Judiciary has to listen.
They are transformed and modified or the time has come to leave a power that is demanding Justice
and is demanding gender equality," said the official with an office at Casa Rosada, whose foster brother, Gerónimo Ustarroz He is the representative of the Executive in the Council of the Magistracy.
Close to the minister they clarified that the context of their statements, although the warning in the midst of the crusade of the ruling party against the Judicial Power, and especially against the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice, takes another volume.
On the other hand, De Pedro defended the President for
giving an account of "the structural reforms that are needed in the Judiciary
.
"
Later, in a brief contact with journalists, the leader of La Cámpora referred to the impact of the speech given by the head of state at the opening of ordinary sessions of Congress.
"One thing is what some media say about Justice and another thing is the situation of the Judicial Power, which is very diverse. One thing is the situation of federal Justice, where the case of the prosecutor (Carlos)
Stornelli
is very obvious, that
is being investigated for participating in a band that asked for money, that investigated families and relatives
. It seems to me that society knows very well the actions of the Judicial Power and that is what our President speaks, "he said.
