Political trial against the Court: Kirchnerism approved to summon Elisa Carrió as a witness

2023-02-17T23:29:59.351Z


Her name appears on the list of witnesses that the Frente de Todos approved this Thursday, although they did not set a date to call her to give testimony.


The ruling party

plans to summon Elisa Carrió as a witness in the framework of the Political Trial

against the four judges of the Supreme Court of Justice.

Her name was included in the expansion of the list of witnesses that the Frente de Todos approved this Thursday, although they did not set a date to call her to give testimony.

"We are ordering the witnesses by sections. Honestly, we haven't talked about Carrió yet. It does not mean that she will not be summoned, but we have to see at what moment," said a weighty deputy who is part of the commission.


Close to the leader of the Civic Coalition, they assured that they were not informed about the reason for the call, but they heard "Lilita" say that

if they call her, she will go and "talk beautifully."

They consider that since it is a "show" -because the ruling party does not have two thirds to approve the dismissals in the venue- they are looking for the "best numbers" to raise the rating.

As Clarín

was able to verify

, the name of

Carrió appears among the 18 witnesses that the deputy camporista Rodolfo Tailhade requested

to call in the framework of the investigation for poor performance that they opened against Horacio Rosatti, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Carlos Rosenkrantz for the ruling that in December 2021 declared unconstitutional the reform of the Council of the Magistracy promoted by the then senator Cristina Kirchner in 2006.

The document was approved with the majority of 16 votes that the FdT has in the Impeachment Committee along with another dozen requests for evidence and testimonials.

Although Carrió along with his deputies from the Civic Coalition -

Juan Manuel López and Paula Olivetto

- differed from Together for Change by supporting the request for a Political Trial against

Ricardo Lorenzetti

for budgetary irregularities during his presidency in the Court, according to the document They do not call her for that file but for the ruling of the Magistracy.

According to what was pointed out to

Clarín

from the ruling party, she is cited because in the 2002 impeachment trial against Supreme Court judges

Julio Nazareno and Eduardo Moliné O'Connor

, the leader of the CC

He signed the opinion that among the acts charged for poor performance against both included having

voted for himself as president and vice president of the Court.

That, they point out,

is the same thing that happened in September 2021

, when Rosatti was elected as president and Rosenkrantz as vice president.

As after repealing the law of the council of the Magistracy, in addition, Rosatti was left as president of that body as well, the Frente de Todos points out that he should have excused himself.

"The assault on the Council of the Magistracy by Horacio Rosatti has been proven, since in no case was it appropriate for him and Rosenkrantz to be presidents of the Supreme Court of Justice. Elisa Carrió had asked Nazareno and Moliné O'Connor for impeachment for having voted for themselves in 2002",

Eduardo Valdés

had declared

to C5N at the beginning of the month.

Lorenzetti did not vote in Rosatti's election and signed in dissent in the case of the Council of the Magistracy. 

From the Civic Coalition they sow doubts.

"It is suspicious that they summon her by the Council of the Magistracy and not by Lorenzetti, whom she denounces in his impeachment trial. They confirm that they

are agreeing on something with Lorenzetti

against the other judges,"

the CC deputy and vice president of the CC assured

Clarín

. the Impeachment Committee,

Juan Manuel López.

During the committee debate, López had already fired days ago that

Lorenzetti "gave lyrics" to the pro-government deputies

.

"Not only does he not give us lyrics, but, at least I have no problem, I give them my phone. See if there is someone 50 kilometers from Lorenzetti who has links with me. I don't know if everyone can say the same with Rosatti, " The head of the FdT bloc,

Germán Martínez, had responded to him at that time.

In the official project headed by the firm of Eduardo Valdés, the three judges who voted to overturn the composition of the Council arranged by Kirchnerism are accused of "reviving a

repealed law

, whose sole purpose was for Horacio Rosatti to become president of the Council." and "declare unconstitutional a law sanctioned fifteen years before, of which six years slept in the Court."
