Martin Soria is no longer a national deputy.
He resigned yesterday, Saturday.
In the Casa Rosada they report that this Monday he will assume as Minister of Justice of the Nation.
The
"era of sweetness"
ends
with the Judiciary.
The phrase is not from the next member of the National Cabinet.
It is from one of his best allies in the
crusade against judges and prosecutors
: legislator K
Rodolfo Tailhade
.
In an interview with the journalist Romina Manguel, the latter leader
whose boss is Vice President Cristina Fernández
, and not Alberto Fernández, defined the new plans of the new minister as follows:
"With Soria patience is over, you have to cut it with sweetness"
.
One acts as ventriloquist for the other.
They alternate roles with words or deeds.
Soria will
no longer be able to denounce
opponents and magistrates or prosecutors because he will occupy the institutional position that acts as a link between the Justice and the Government.
The former head of Counterintelligence of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI), Tailhade, will execute the missions ordered from the ministry
from now on "bitter"
for Comodoro Py, for using the metaphor K in the opposite sense to the "sweetness" invoked by the equally not-so-literary Tailhade.
Those jobs started.
Soria, not even knowing that he would be Minister of Justice, had announced in public statements and on his social networks what the axes of his management will be: ending the alleged
judicial persecution
against the vice president, for him, a plot promoted by chambermaids, judges, prosecutors, journalists and former officials of the previous national administration, among other operators of an unproven conspiracy.
The "sweetness" of the Government with the Judiciary, if there ever was that link invaded by that joyful emotion, is perhaps accelerating towards the new epochal sensation under the control of the "bitter" Soria, always continuing with the K metaphors.
Clarín
confirmed the "final candy" plan with sources from the National Cabinet itself, and also with important authorities of the Justice.
Tailhade executes: he formally requested the Attorney General's Office, in charge of
Eduardo Casal
, an enemy of his boss Fernández, to deliver the
sworn statements of Personal Assets of twenty-five federal prosecutors
.
These include Casal himself, and other peers, some identified as unacceptable corruption investigators, such as the prosecutor before the Criminal Cassation Chamber,
Raúl Pleé;
his colleague who investigated the Cuadernos case,
Carlos Stornelli, a
habitual critical target of Kirchnerism and also of the President himself;
the first promoter of the cause "La Ruta del Dinero K",
José María Campagnoli
;
his successor in the federal investigation stage of the same case,
Guillermo Marijuán
;
and who held the prosecution that requested aggravated money laundering convictions during the oral and public trial of the same case,
Abel Córdoba
.
Also on the same list are the prosecutor who prompted the sentence for
Amado Boudou
in the oral trial of the Ciccone file,
Marcelo Colombo;
the prosecutor who instructed that same plot,
Carlos Rívolo
;
his colleague
Eduardo Taiano
, who is carrying out the file labeled as homicide of the prosecutor in the AMIA case, Alberto Nisman;
who brought the causes that most complicate the Kirchner family to oral proceedings,
Gerardo Pollicita
;
the prosecutor before the Federal Chamber of Mar del Plata,
Juan Manuel Pettigiani
;
who worked and brought the Once case to trial,
Federico Delgado
, among many and many other prosecutors.
As Tailhade is fair and impartial, he included prosecutors affiliated with the judicial movement called "Legitimate Justice", such as
Javier De Luca
, in his request list for affidavits of assets
.
After various consultations,
Clarín
learned that the vast majority of them affirm that their declared assets are part of public access documents, and they have no objection to their being known by Tailhade and his "superior" Soria.
However, they
distrust
the usefulness and the method and ways in which that information could be disseminated.
Yesterday, the Association of Magistrates and Officials of the National Justice issued a statement describing this request from Tailhade as "a
new and unfounded attack
against the Independence of the Judicial Power, the Public Ministries and their members."
In another of its paragraphs, the Association indicates, on behalf of its members, that
"we raise our voices"
in the face of what they consider to be a new action that is part of a
"media practice"
that seeks to "repeatedly install" an "alleged smear campaign ".
In particular, regarding the request for sworn statements, the Association affirms that a good part of the prosecutors indicated by Tailhade are "the vast majority" who "carry out or carried out investigations into alleged acts of corruption in which officials and former officials are involved. civil servants who are members of some of the Powers of the State ".
The judges and prosecutors who are part of this sectoral organization, emphasize that the information on the assets of the prosecutors
is accessible to any citizen
.
And they describe this action that is installed "in the context of the attempted and reported smear campaign," and that also "unfoundedly attacks the interim Attorney General and some members of the Attorney General. But without resorting to the appropriate channels ... ".
This text also criticizes the "attacks" that claim "are unnecessary" and "futile" against the MPF.
And they denounce a "subjugation" against the "institution that the Constitution has created to safeguard the legality and interests of society."
The not yet assumed Minister of Justice, Soria, promised that during his time in that body he will not persecute judges or prosecutors.
It is not what happens in fact.
In addition to complaints before the Council of the Magistracy of several chamber members, and before Congress or the MPF in which pro-government legislators accused different magistrates and prosecutors of committing crimes, such as Stornelli or Casal himself, the
ventriloquist of speech or actions of Soria
, Deputy Tailhade, has just started an investigation against the oral court prosecutor who sentenced the Kirchners' partner,
Lázaro Báez
, and his children
to seven years in prison for money laundering
, among others, prosecuted with similar prison sentences.
It is Abel Córdoba.
In line with the conviction against Báez promoted by Córdoba, and ratified by the judges of the Federal Oral Court 2, Tailhade himself requested by letter to the President of the Permanent Bicameral Commission for Monitoring of the Public Ministry, the senator for Río Negro, Martin Doñate , to request digitized copies of the proceedings of the aforementioned court in the case known as
"Thales Spectrum",
in which possible bribery of the former radioelectric space concessionaire was being investigated.
That case, by decision of the public prosecutor Córdoba, was considered prescribed due to the years without conclusions or effective work done in this regard.
In the new Soria era, that court, made up of judges Gorini, Giménez Uriburu and Mendez Signori, and whose prosecutor is the aforementioned Córdoba, are "four coimeros" and "they will have to give many explanations in the congress and the council of the magistracy ".
The textuals are from Tailhade.
Soria was still his benchmate and not his "boss" in the Justice Ministry.
Why the sudden anger and the severe accusation of the deputy against those judges and that prosecutor?
The legislator asked for copies of the proceedings of the federal oral court 2 on March 15.
On February 24, Federal Prosecutor Abel Córdoba, Judge Jorge Gorini, and Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu, acting this time as judges of the Federal Oral Court 7, sentenced Lázaro Báez to seven years in prison for aggravated money laundering.
This chronology is more effective to understand why the K act as they do against those magistrates, and above all, against the prosecutor Córdoba.
End of sweetness.
