The new head of Federal Court No. 1 of La Plata with electoral jurisdiction, Alejo Ramos Padilla, scored a new "merit" before the ranks of hard Kirchnerism: this Friday he rejected in record time a precautionary measure presented by the mayor of Esteban Echeverría, Fernando Gray, who sought to suspend the call for internal elections to renew authorities of the Buenos Aires Justicialista Party and
thus prevent Máximo Kirchner from becoming its president.
Gray, with a mandate as vice of that force until December 17, requested the Justice on Monday that "the resolution of the meeting held by Zoom and called irregularly be invalidated."
The mayor of Esteban Echeverría made reference to the virtual meeting of the Buenos Aires PJ Council on Saturday, February 27, in which they approved the
advancement of the internal elections
for May 2.
For that election, the ruling party seeks that Máximo Kirchner
heads the single list
and is the president of the Buenos Aires PJ
in the electoral year
, where the lists of candidates for councilors for the 135 municipalities and also for the Buenos Aires Legislature must be defined.

In his writing, Gray stated that "the body that must call internal elections is the party congress, not the council."
"I have informally learned that,
from the WhatsApp account of an employee of the PJ
of the province of Buenos Aires, a meeting of the council had been called," said Esteban Echeverría's communal chief in the lawsuit.
In just four days
, those arguments were dismissed by Ramos Padilla, who
resolved the situation
in favor of the aspirations of the son of former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The judge considered in his ruling - to which the
Télam
agency had access
- that "what is intended is the revocation of an ongoing electoral process, the precautionary measure aimed at suspending its effects,
only corresponds
, in principle, in those cases in those that
a manifest illegality is clearly verified
"and stressed that in this case" such manifest illegality does not appear at first glance configured. "

"In effect, the appellant questions a decision of a party nature, adopted by a party body that has, according to article 37 inc ñ) of its Organic Charter, the power to call internal elections," said the magistrate, who gained public importance when, In what was later known as
Operation Puf Puf
, it began to investigate alleged
illegal wiretapping of former Kirchner officials detained
for corruption.
Since then, it has been defended from Kirchnerism with insistence and militant discipline.
Also promoted at the institutional level.
At the beginning of February, he
imposed his majority
in the Senate of the Nation to appoint Ramos Padilla as Electoral Judge of La Plata, before the opposition of the macrismo, which describes the magistrate as a "militant judge."
For now, in one of its first and remarkably fast failures, it seems to validate it with clear signs of retribution.
The Council of the PJ Bonaerense met on Saturday, February 27 by Zoom and called the elections for the renewal of authorities for Sunday, May 2, which
launched the electoral schedule
destined to consecrate the head of the bloc as president of the party. of deputies from the Frente de Todos, Máximo Kirchner, who gathers the consensus of different sectors of Peronism.

"The
institutionality
of the Justicialista Party of the Province
must be
respected
. In
70 years of history
, we have never experienced a similar situation," said Gray, who is not resigned to seeing how the party dominated by the mayors loses power at the hands of La Campora.
In turn, at the national level Alberto Fernández, presented the list 'Unity and Federalism' with the candidates for councilors to renew the leadership of the national PJ, where he himself will remain as party president, accompanied by national officials, governors, trade unionists, legislators, mayors and referents of political groups.
Alberto Fernández will take office this month along with the vice presidents: Cristina Álvarez Rodríguez, national deputy for Buenos Aires;
Axel Kicillof, Buenos Aires governor;
Analía Rach Quiroga, deputy governor of Chaco;
Juan Manzur, governor of Tucumán;
and Lucía Corpacci, national deputy for Catamarca.
