The Minister of Justice, Martín Soria, spoke about the reform law of the Public Prosecutor's Office and said that the only statement presented so far is that of Daniel Rafecas, but "
we will see later
.
"
He assured that those who seek to vote for him "are the ones who blocked his specifications" last year.
"Those who now say that they want to vote for Rafecas
are the ones who last year blocked their specifications
. And now they are opposed to this reform of the Public Ministry law, who are the ones who promoted an identical reform back in 2017. They are the same that now they ask about the vaccines and a few months ago they said they were poison, "the official quipped against the opposition.
When Soria took office, replacing Marcela Losardo, he revealed that his main objective was to displace the interim prosecutor,
Eduardo Casal
, but now he assured that
this law "does not have proper names"
, and thus tried to lower the tone of the controversial reform.
He added that "
the law is necessary regardless of who is the next attorney
."
"The truth is that today the only statement presented is that of Rafecas ... We will see later," he detailed in an interview on
Radio 10
.
In this sense, he assured that "an attorney
with a temporary limit
in his mandate"
is needed
and "change the majorities so that it never happens to us again as it has happened to us four years ago, where we have an interim office that has done so much damage to the Public Prosecutor's Office ".
"It is a
law that does not have proper names
, it is not to remove an interim and put Rafecas or any other. It has to do with giving it legitimacy,
it has to do with the operation of the Ministry, "he declared now.
"I don't want to feed a fugitive"
"I don't want to feed a fugitive," Soria said about Mauricio Macri's former legal adviser,
Fabián "Pepín" Rodríguez Simón
, who requested political refuge in Uruguay and who is subject to an extradition request from the Argentine Justice.
Fabián "Pepín" Rodríguez Simón lawyer and PRO leader, with an arrest warrant and "exile" in Uruguay.
The macrista adviser had said that one of the reasons for his criticized departure from the country had been the inauguration of the new minister.
"That must be because together with several deputies and deputies we discovered the meetings and presented the complaint of the judicial table," Soria replied.
The minister considered that "it is funny" that now he denounces judicial persecution against him.
"It is quite implausible to believe in this unusual argument that he feels persecuted. Of how many crimes will he have participated in that judicial table
to be so afraid
of a simple measure such as an investigation," he accused.
