Cristina Kirchnerformer president of the nation and current president of the PJ, has been a central figure in Argentine politics for the last two decades. Recently, he has returned to the center of attention by proposing a constitutional reform that, among other things, would modify the election period in the country.
According to Christiana Kirchner“there cannot be elections every two years,” and proposes that they be held every four years. Kirchner’s proposal is not new in the Argentine political sphere. Since his participation in the 1994 Constitutional Convention, he has advocated for significant changes in the country’s political and judicial structure.
In his recent interview on the Generación 94 podcast, Kirchner argued that the current system of elections every two years generates instability and makes it difficult to implement long-term policies.
Kirchner maintains that the frequency of elections interferes with the government’s ability to carry out deep and necessary reforms. According to her, a four-year electoral cycle would allow governments to focus on policy implementation without the constant pressure of electoral campaigns..
Furthermore, he argues that this change could reduce political polarization and foster a more conducive environment for dialogue and cooperation between different political forces. In addition to the modification of the electoral period, Kirchner has proposed other constitutional reforms.
One of the most notable is the introduction of an amendment system similar to that of the United States. In his opinion, this system would allow necessary changes to be made to the Constitution without the need to call a new constitutional convention every time an article is wanted to be modified.
Ideas
This, according to Cristina Kirchnerwould make the reform process more agile and efficient. He has also harshly criticized the Argentine judicial system, particularly the figure of life judges. In his opinion, the permanence of judges in their positions for life contributes to the politicization of justice and the lack of independence of the judiciary.
It proposes that judges be elected by popular vote and that their terms have a limited duration, similar to what happens in other countries such as the United States and Mexico. The former president has also pointed out that the creation of the Judicial Council, which had the objective of depoliticizing justice, has not achieved its purpose. According to Kirchnerthe Council has contributed to the further politicization of the judicial system, and proposes its reform or even its elimination.
