After the ruling of the Supreme Court that endorsed the autonomy of the City of Buenos Aires to maintain the presence of the classes, the Buenos Aires government highlighted the "speed in the judicial process."
Buenos Aires sources assured
Clarín
that it is "important the
speed in the judicial process
to give certainty to the families in the face of so much anguish", although they affirmed that they are
"cautious"
before the decision of the highest court.
In addition, they confirmed that the classes will continue with the same modality after the announcement on Friday by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, that is, with the bimodal secondary level and adults, tertiary and virtual professional training, while the initial and primary will maintain the presence.
As they explained, this system obeys strictly sanitary criteria to collaborate in reducing circulation as much as possible, and "this is how we are going to sustain it for these 15/21 days."
The City also stated that the intention is "to continue working in coordination and jointly with the national government and with the Province of Buenos Aires" for the management of the pandemic.
In the midst of the tension between Alberto Fernández and Rodríguez Larreta over the schools, the Supreme Court ruled this Tuesday in favor of Buenos Aires autonomy and thus supported the face-to-face classes as requested by the City.
"The autonomy of the City of Buenos Aires was violated," the magistrates maintained.
The ruling came out unanimously with the votes of Carlos Rosenkrantz, Ricardo Lorenzetti, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Horacio Rosatti.
Elena Highton abstained from voting because she considered that the Buenos Aires presentation was not the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
The presentation on which the Court has now defined, started two weeks ago when
the City presented an appeal
to the court to defend the autonomy of Buenos Aires and resist the presidential decree that ordered the cancellation of face-to-face classes at all educational levels.
Although that DNU today is without effect, it was replaced by another this last Saturday that maintains the same order.
