Leandro Báez is not only the son of Lázaro most similar to his father.
It is also the speaking subconscious of what his father is silent about.
It is the Báez who openly tells how Néstor Kirchner told Lázaro
"to prepare the company for the contracts that were going to be overturned in the province"
of Santa Cruz.
And, attention, that
"in each province there is a Lázaro Báez
.
"
Leandro Báez does not respect pacts of silence because
he did not make them
.
And he understands exactly
what is happening:
that if Lázaro and his children were convicted of money laundering since they were all listed in the “washing” companies, Cristina - whom he points to as the origin of the black money that his father laundered- It could also be condemned along with those who appeared in its real estate and hotel companies.
Cristina's children
.
"Cristina is concerned because Florencia does not have jurisdiction as Máximo
," Báez told
Clarín
journalist
Lucía Salinas.
The youngest of the Báez family thus draws a relationship of situations in a mirror and shows Cristina what can come after her father is convicted.
Nothing that Cristina does not know
.
The conviction of Lázaro Báez and his four children was read just 5 days before Alberto Fernández announced another strong offensive against justice in Congress, while Cristina smiled at his side.
It was too much like an attempt to cover the rain with more storm.
The core of this operation is a classic of the story: how to sustain something in speech that in fact means the opposite.
Short examples and at the bottom: the story says that a more transparent and agile justice is sought to obtain fair sentences in less time and in fact they propose to create an intermediate court before the Court and a bicameral commission that controls the judges.
The functions of the bodies they want to create
already exist
: the Chamber of Cassation is the court before the Court and the one who controls the judges is the Council of the Magistracy.
The creation of these glassy entities would generate
more slowness
in the files -because review instances and bureaucracy are added- and would favor the star objective: that no cause of corruption that is uncomfortable for Cristina or her partners will ever remain firm.
Time is money and
removes the possibility of effective penalties
.
That is why in Cassation, the most Kirchnerist judge in the body, Alejandro Slokar, called out loud and zoomed in for the resignation of the president of the chamber, Gustavo Hornos.
He did so
emboldened after the President's speech,
not as an independent judge but as a minister demanding an armchair that he considers consistent with current policy.
Slokar - a disciple of Zaffaroni and an ally of Verbitsky - is the first vice president of Cassation.
If Hornos runs, he remains
.
Hornos is the one who voted in favor of reopening Nisman's complaint against Cristina for covering up the authors of the attack on the AMIA, and who considered in a vote that
acts of corruption do not prescribe
.
That is exactly
the opposite
that Cristina and her allies want, because it makes the passage of time useless.
The strategy is to run to the uncomfortable while new bodies are proposed, justified only by the government's need to keep judges under its tutelage.
That for the causes of corruption that already exist.
For those who can open up in the future - against themselves or against the opposition - they need the position of attorney general, where Eduardo Casal still resists.
If they succeed, there will be an accusatory system in the Buenos Aires justice system and the prosecutors will decide which cause will march at
lightning speed
and which
at the snail's pace
.
Meanwhile, Leandro Báez asks his father to say publicly
"who really handled"
the money in his Swiss accounts.
