The first public reaction to the suggestive convergence around a

bill to determine the appointment of the presidents of the Supreme Court

, has corresponded to the Minister of Justice.

The convergence is from Massa, Ritondo and Yacobitti.

This Tuesday, Martín Soria took advantage of an unsurprising official charge against Macri and his last sayings about his own debt and K debt, to be able to extend his rhetoric and in turn bear the president of the Court, Carlos Rosenkrantz.

Soria, always so talkative and aggressive, had been quiet for some time.

He said that project, which at least so far does not suggest it is probably anything other than a test balloon, is simply

"an inconsistency

.

"

But immediately it was against Rosenkrantz, called to testify several days ago by Judge Servini in the case initiated by Fabián de Sousa, Cristóbal López's partner.

The investigation of Judge Servini is because the Indalo Group denounced that Macri operated a persecution to the detriment of their companies.

They accused Macri of spearheading the existence of an illicit association.

In this case, the advisor Fabián Rodríguez Simón is a fugitive, with a request for Uruguayan protection still unresolved.

The news of the call that the judge makes to the judge who presides over the Court is relatively old for Argentine times: from the beginning of the month.

But it has served Soria for another convergence no longer so suggestive: to disqualify the project, but

more than anything, after a long silence, to be heard

.

It is the only thing he has been able to do since Fernández fired his predecessor, Marcela Losardo, for not being able to do

what Soria should do and neither can he

, and gave him the consolation prize of the Argentine embassy in UNESCO, based in Paris.

The minister had said when he assumed that the first thing he would do would be to interview the members of the Court to clarify some points.

He did not ask for an audience until now.

Martín Soria, Minister of Justice, charged the President of the Court, Carlos Rosenkrantz.

Soria said of that summons to Rosenkrantz, “unfortunately

an embarrassment

.

They have just called him to give testimony for having almost 60 calls with the fugitive Pepín Rodríguez Simón, Mauricio Macri's right-hand man and star official.

It is a very big stain for the highest organ of the Argentine Justice ”.

And he added: "Now they present a project to modify the method of election of the president of the Court in pandemic, they do not agree or lie."

It is suggestive that Cristian Ritondo, who chairs the JxC bloc in Deputies, is the author with the radical Alejandro Yacobitti of this initiative. But more than the rumors suggest that Sergio Massa, president of the Chamber of Deputies and essential ally K, is, it is said,

in favor of the initiative and has even worked on it.

It is already known that Yacobitti tunes very well with Enrique Nosiglia. It was also speculated that the initiative had the approval of the federal judges of Comodoro Py, a group that has had a good dialogue with Ricardo Lorenzetti.

The aforementioned project

proposes that the president be the judge of the Court with the highest seniority.

And it is said that it is to cancel threads in that appointment.

Here it is discounted that Maqueda, the oldest, is a position that does not attract him like Highton, and that Rosenkrantz and Rosatti are the newest.

Then

Lorenzetti would be in a position to be president again

, if the project succeeds something that seems difficult.

But it happens that the presidency today in charge of Rosenkrantz

ends on October 1

.

In other words, the new president of the Court would begin to decide from September 12, the day of PASO, and the end of the month.

In this framework,

Rosatti would aspire to lead the High Court.

All options, then, are open: Lorenzetti, Rosatti or, even, let the current president Rosenkrantz follow.
