The Chamber of Deputies of Argentina approved the draft Law of Clean file with an absolute majority of 144 votes in favor, 98 against and 2 abstentions. This initiative, which modifies the rules of eligibility for candidates for public office, prohibits those with sentences confirmed in second instance for crimes against public administration to submit to elections.
The approval of Clean file It has generated an intense debate in the country, since it directly affects political figures such as Cristina Kirchner, who faces a sentence confirmed in the second instance in the road cause.
The Clean file It was an original proposal of the Pro Party, led by Deputy Silvia Lospennato, and has been supported by several political blocks, including freedom progresses, the Civic Coalition and sectors of the UCR and Federal Meeting. However, everyone’s front, led by Peronism, has expressed its opposition to the law and has promised to stop it in the Senate.
The central nerve of the law points to the crimes of fraud to the detriment of the public administration, bribery, embezzlement of public flows, negotiations incompatible with the exercise of public functions, illegal accusations, illicit enrichment of officials and employees, and cover -up.
These crimes are contemplated in Title XI of the Criminal Code and any other criminal crime against the administration that implies enrichment. The approval of the Clean file In deputies he has been seen as a victory for the ruling party and a defeat for Kirchnerism.
Cristina Kirchner, who faces a sentence to six years in prison and perpetual disqualification for the road cause, will be out of the electoral career if the law is definitely sanctioned. This situation has left the former president in a vulnerable position and has generated a climate of uncertainty in the political sphere.
Alliance
In the Senate, the stage is more complex. Everyone’s front has the first minority and has promised to block the law or bury it so that it never reaches the enclosure. The absolute majority necessary for the final sanction of the law is 37 votes, and the Union Block for the Fatherland, which has 34 legislators, has the ability to prevent its approval.
However, the alliance between Victoria Villarruel and the dialoguist spaces has been fragmented, which further complicates the panorama. Peronism has argued that Clean file It is a proscriptional measure specifically aimed at Cristina Kirchner and has rejected any support for the project.
