Almost a month after the appointment of Martín Soria in place of Marcela Losardo, the new minister will defend the reform of the Public Prosecutor's Office in Congress and Together for Change anticipated that he will not attend the plenary session.

"

We will not be complicit

in the destruction of the Republic," they argued.

In a statement, they reported that just "at the toughest moment of the pandemic" they find that "the priority of the ruling party is to

guarantee impunity for its former officials

."

The JxC deadlock "will not be

functional to an agenda

completely alien to the concerns of millions of Argentines," they insisted.

"Reforming the Public Prosecutor's Office, approving the sanction that comes from the Senate, implies

affecting the independence of all the

country's

prosecutors

and subjecting them to the political control of Kirchnerism," the text said.

"We will not attend the plenary of commissions because they

want to break the independence of all

the nation's

prosecutors

," they denounced from the opposition.

The opposition referents added that they are not willing for "the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation to become the place where the Front of All intends to enshrine the impunity of the past by reforming the law that regulates the structure of the Public Ministry, and attacking

independence of all the prosecutors

of the Nation ".

"Affecting the independence of the Public Prosecutor's Office means

weakening the republican system of government,

" they insisted.

They also argued that the objective of the reform "is to end the independence of all prosecutors and displace Attorney

Eduardo Casal

, who holds the position in the name of the law and exercises it independently," they continued.

The JxC interblock will not be complicit in the destruction of the Republic.

We will not attend the committee meeting this Monday in which Kirchnerism and Minister Soria want to discuss a reform of the Public Prosecutor's Office that only pursues impunity K.

Finally, they reported that they also reject "

the terms of the convocation

of the deputy Tahilade, who intends that the national deputies advance the questions and we cannot formulate them after the intervention of the minister."

"This

violates our privileges

by

trying

to silence opposition voices and set up a scene as it further distorts the very essence of Parliament," they explained.

The text concludes with force: "It is not the moment, it is not the way,

it is not the content

."

Seeks to unlock the Attorney General's law

With a different imprint from his predecessor, with the speed that Kirchnerism demanded, the current Minister of Justice will go to Congress on Monday afternoon after having held meetings with legal and prosecutors to explore an eventual agreement.

Although Together for Change

ratified its rejection

of the initiative and the ruling party, in principle, it will not be easy for it to gather the votes with the rest of the blocs.

Soria will present in a plenary session of the Justice and Constitutional Affairs commissions.
