Cristina Kirchner maintains her agenda of meetings in the Senate, where she received Father Pepe Di Paola and representatives of the OAS, as well as distinguished the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo.
However,
the vice president keeps legislative activity paralyzed
and, consequently, does not allow the laws and specifications of judges who are demanding from Santa Fe to advance after the wave of violence that is shaking Rosario and that aroused the attention of the Government after the attack on the Antonela Roccuzzo's family supermarket and the mafia threat against Lionel Messi.
Specifically, since November 16 of last year, the Upper House has not met and on that occasion it did so at one of the highest peaks of political tension between the ruling party and the opposition that the Frente de Todos crowned by trying to legitimize the appointments for the Council of the Magistracy with a vote in the compound with the intention of imposing the camporista Martín Doñate for the second minority from the partition of the bloc.
For now, the move is not working for Kirchnerism because the justice system upheld the claim of Senator Luis Juez, who requests that the Senate decree that appointed Doñate and Anabel Fernández Sagasti be declared null and void.
The fight will end in the Court, which had already rejected the nomination of the senator for Río Negro and also questioned the division of the official bloc.
Meanwhile, the Senate continues to be paralyzed and from Together for Change they repeat as a karma that it is
due to a political decision by Cristina
.
Although from the ruling party they in turn say that the body does not meet because the opposition does not accompany it with a quorum, although until the fracture of the Frente de Todos and the emergence of the Federal Unity bloc, Kirchnerism brought together the 37 senators to meet with the help from allies.
But the vice president did not arouse any reaction to the security crisis in Santa Fe, with a focus on Rosario.
"Nothing is advancing in the Senate
," protested
Clarín
Dionisio Scarpín (UCR-Santa Fe), who did not hesitate to hold the vice president responsible for this paralysis.
Scarpín together with his fellow bench member Carolina Losada asked Guillermo Snopek, who recently left the Frente de Todos, to convene the Constitutional Affairs commission with the intention of advancing in the treatment of the project to strengthen federal justice
in Santa Faith
.
Both Juntos senators also requested that the Security Commission, chaired by the pro-government leader Matías Rodríguez, meet with the aim of addressing the emergency security request of the province governed by Omar Perotti.
But the camporista so far has not cited the commission that has not met for the past year.
To all this is added that the Frente de Todos does not designate its representatives for the Bicameral Commission for Monitoring and Implementation of the Federal Criminal Procedure Code,
while the opposition nominated Víctor Zimmermann, Carolina Losada and Beatriz Ávila.
This bicameral is fundamental for the implementation of the accusatory system that in Santa Fe they consider key to accelerating cases related to drug trafficking and organized crime that have already given important results in Salta.
In addition, as this newspaper has already reported, the vice president has also stopped the documents of judges Eduardo Daniel Rodrígues Da Cruz and Elena Beatriz Dilario, who were proposed for the Chamber of the Federal Criminal Oral Court No. 2 of Rosario, and of Gastón Alberto Salmain, who is appointed to the Federal Court of First Instance No. 1 of Rosario.
Despite the fact that there is an agreement between the opposition and the ruling party to approve the appointments, Cristina has not yet called a session to discuss the specifications, always with the argument that they cannot meet a quorum.
"When it was necessary to approve the judges of Santa Cruz, there wasn't that much of a problem," complained Scarpín, referring to the appointment of the three judges who were related to Kirchnerism who were appointed to the Appeals Chamber of Luis Piedra Buena.
This Wednesday, the Federal Unity bloc issued a statement asking that a special session be convened to discuss, among other issues, the specifications of the Rosario judges, but there is still nothing concrete.
On the same day, the head of the pro-government bloc, José Mayans, had a rapprochement with Alfredo Cornejo, president of the Juntos interbloc, and conveyed to him the intention of calling a session
for March 30
with a low-voltage and consensual agenda.
From the opposition they ask to include the specifications of the judges so we have to wait for the talks to advance.
From Juntos, who had decided not to accompany the quorum due to the Government's attack on the Supreme Court of Justice, they seek to make an attempt to move forward with the most sensitive projects since the electoral period and campaign times are approaching.
For now, the Senate met only for the preparatory session in which the authorities were re-elected.
Even during the extraordinary period there was no session or commission meetings were called despite the fact that Zero Alcohol at the wheel and the Lucio Law appear on the agenda that the Executive sent to Congress.
