It is the updated figure with the increases. The Court has in its hands an appeal to prevent the double benefit.


Cristina Kirchner

began to exercise the vice presidency of this government receiving a single privileged pension.

A few months after the end of this management,

she managed to add the life pension of Néstor Kirchner.

According to estimates made by specialists, with the latest updates she began to receive

more than 9.1 million pesos per month.

In total there are 124 minimum retirements, which today stands at $73,665.


The news came out the same week that Sergio Massa ordered to exchange the dollar securities that the ANSeS fund has to protect the capital with which retirement and pensions are paid, for papers denominated in pesos

.


The Supreme Court of Justice, the focus of the main criticism of the vice president, has in its hands the discussion about the double privilege pension that he began to collect a few months after Alberto Fernández arrived at the Casa Rosada.

The

management of Cambiemos had forced her to opt for one of the pensions

, a decision that was reversed thanks to the head of state lawyers:

Carlos Zannini.

As the vice's double privilege pension is tied to the increases granted by the Court, she received the latest increases from judicial officials: 6% in January, 7% the following month and finally, 5.5% in March.

As a reference value, what Cristina Kirchner received -a figure reported by herself in her lawsuit- duly updated by what the law establishes, results in a shocking figure: 9,181,592 pesos per month

for

the

two lifetime pensions

, yours as former president and that corresponding to Néstor Kirchner.

Cristina obtained a favorable ruling before the Social Security court to reverse the situation in which the Macri government had left her.

On November 18, the Social Security Chamber -with the signatures of Néstor Fasciolo and Sebastián Russo- had confirmed the ruling of Judge Pérez Nanni, according to which she could collect her double life pension, after the ANSES ruled in his favor, thanks to the fact that the then prosecutor -and member of Legitimate Justice- Gabriel De Vedia did not appeal.

Faced with the judicial decision, the deputy

Graciela Ocaña

, of Together for Change, went to the last judicial instance: the Supreme Court, which must define whether to intervene or maintain the double benefit that represents almost 9.2 million pesos per month for the president of the Senate.

Cristina's income

represents 158 minimum pensions

, not including the 15,000-peso bonus that this government announced in the face of year-on-year inflation that reached three figures.

Of course: as compensation, when the vice received the double pension again, she reported that she was

giving up her salary as president of the Senate

(at that time above 300,000 pesos) and agreed

to continue paying earnings.

Faced with this situation, the former secretary of Social Security of the Cambiemos management told

Clarín

: "This happens because

Fernanda Raverta

- head of the Anses and Zannini

did not appeal the sentence

in favor of Cristina, as they do with the rest of the retired.”

In her last statement before the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) Cristina recognized a heritage of

48,608,385 pesos.

Two years ago she had declared 9.7 million, showing a continuous increase in her assets:

she nominally tripled her assets

without owning real estate.

The numbers are far from the 77 million with which he left the Casa Rosada in December 2015, when the blue dollar was at an average of 15 pesos.

When the first precautionary measures began to be issued against her in the context of corruption cases, Cristina decided to transfer her fortune to her children.

She there she included

fixed terms, 25 properties, shareholdings

in three companies and a vehicle.


Claim before the Court

Ocaña's statement refers to a fact of "extreme institutional gravity" and affirms that the ANSES, under the leadership of camporista Raverta, "only sought to benefit" the vice president instead of "defending the interests of the State."

Faced with the updated values, the opposition deputy told

Clarín

: "

justice must remedy this abuse

by the vice president, who arrogated to collect two benefits with the complicity of ANSES and the Treasury Attorney, when this is prohibited."

Last year, ANSES asked that Ocaña's proposal be rejected so that the discussion about the privileged retirement of the vice president would not be reopened.

The deputy appealed the measure before that same court of appeal.

This claim was rejected after a request from ANSES, which considered that the discussion was concluded and that the debate should not be reopened.

Ocaña then went to the Court with a complaint.

In it, she asks, on the one hand, to be taken into account as a third party in the case

representing the interests of the State that were affected

by the ANSES decision.

Secondly, she claims that when it is taken into account, the ruling that benefited the vice be annulled.
