"Daniel Rafecas is not only a federal judge, he is an internationally recognized jurist and an eminence of the Law. For this reason, from the Executive Power we will propose that he be the new Attorney General of the Nation. I trust in his independence and capacity for the task".
The definition is known.
It was tweeted by Alberto Fernández on December 17, 2019, just a week after taking office.
The unmistakable tone shows the conviction of someone who has a plan and a man to carry it out.
It also translates
the pride of the one who considers himself with the authority to do so.
Alberto, the judge's son, as he likes to market himself, left no doubt that this was his court.
It was not the only thing he said about Rafecas.
"I know him well.
He is the best candidate for Attorney General
,
"he
said last December.
"He was a fellow professor, he is a man of absolute technical quality and indisputable moral conditions."
The conclusiveness of the language proposes a direct reading of the events of the last few days: with Rafecas increasingly away from the prosecution, the President should be concerned. Angry even, if he can ever get angry at those who thwart his attempts and force him to recoil in full view of his declared convictions.
It is known that the President is not distressed by confronting his own file.
But doesn't it have a limit?
"If halfway through the process for my appointment, the majority required in the Senate to appoint the Attorney is reduced by law, that will be for me an insurmountable ethical limit ...
", wrote this Monday Rafecas, forewarned about the advance of ultra-Kirchnerism and Sergio Massa in the project that modifies the law of the Public Ministry and allows the appointment of a prosecutor related to K objectives. That is,
Rafecas gets off before they take him down.
The President tries to hide the opposition with an accusatory grin.
"That law came about because Juntos por el Cambio never wanted to accept my proposal as attorney."
It does not say, nor can it answer, why the vice president never promoted the treatment of the appointment of her candidate in the Senate.
Between the sayings of Alberto Fernández days after assuming and what Rafecas expressed this Monday, a parable is drawn that illustrates the loss of presidential authority.
Because Rafecas sets the limit that Alberto Fernández could not, did not want or did not know how to set
. The result admits a single and simple interpretation: if Kirchnerism achieves a quorum in Deputies and modifies the law, not only will Rafecas not be Procurator, but with the last vote in Congress, Alberto Fernández will be an even weaker president than what is today. Which is a lot to say.
Fernández has already sacrificed ministers María Eugenia Bielsa and Marcela Losardo, her partner and friend, on the Kirchner altar, who refused to allow what now the minister for the photo Martín Soria, and the
minister
in fact, Juan Martín Mena, carry go ahead.
In addition, Alberto Fernández made his impotence visible in the failed departure of an undersecretary of Energy.
It is difficult to pretend to define a solicitor if you cannot decide on an undersecretary.
None of this compares to the possible displacement of Eduardo Casal de la Procuración.
Because the future operation of the Justice and the presumed impunity of the vice president, among other officials, are at stake, an issue that sensitizes a no lesser part of society like no other.
