Judiciary: Cristina Kirchner pointed against "the caste no one talks about"

Cristina Kirchner questioned a change in the Judiciary.

The Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner affirmed this Sunday that there is a “caste no one talks about”alluding to the Supreme Court of Justice and echoing a tweet from a journalist who recalls that this Monday the president of the highest court will take office, Horacio Rosatti, as head of the Judicial Council “thanks to a ruling handed down by himself.”

“Seriously, only the journalist Matías Mowszet realized what is going to happen tomorrow in Argentina, your country? How strange… with so many independent and investigative journalists on TV and in the big newspapers. The caste of the nobody talks,” Fernández de Kirchner wrote on his personal Twitter account.

The Vice President attached an image of what the journalist Mowszet said: “Tomorrow the president of the Supreme Court, Horacio Rosatti, will take over as president of the Judicial Council (the body that appoints and removes judges) thanks to a ruling issued by himself and without leaving his position on the Court, which he also won by self-electing himself months ago”.

In another tweet, Mowszet listed a number of acts corresponding to Rosatti: “He agreed to enter the Court by decree; he won the presidency thanks to an unprecedented self-vote that, with only 5 judges, was decisive; he issued a ruling that appointed him himself as president of the Judicial Council.”

“Interesting for when we discuss castes again”he concluded.

Rosatti would assume tomorrow as the new president of the Council of the Judiciary, since the term granted by the Court to Congress to approve a new composition of that body has expired.

Last December the highest court declared unconstitutional the law that in 2006 -during the presidency of Néstor Kirchner- reduced the number of members of the Council from 20 to 13.

Sixteen years later, by declaring that provision unconstitutional, the Court ordered a return to the old structure, reinstating a law repealed by Congress, and gave Parliament 120 days to issue a new law that would give it a framework as stated in that resolution.

The Senate approved a project of the Executive with the endorsement of the Front of All and provincial allies and the votes against Together for Change, which does not contemplate the participation of the Court in the Council and establishes an integration with 17 representatives.

The norm with half sanction was turned over to Deputies, but it was not dealt with and the deadline set by the Court expired last Friday the 15th. In the meantime, the federal judge of Entre Ríos, Daniel Alonso, granted an appeal by the ruling deputy Marcelo Casareto and ordered the Chambers of Deputies and Senators to refrain from appointing their representatives to the Council, an action that they had to carry out in accordance with the Court’s resolution if the new law was not approved.

Upon expiration of the term granted by the highest Argentine court of justice, Rosatti was now empowered to appoint himself as president of the Council (as was in force in the composition of the 1997 law later replaced in 2006) and appoint the remaining directors.

Likewise, to return to that structure -which now includes gender parity-, the lawyers recently elected the lawyers Jimena de la Torre and María Fernanda Vázquez, while the judges elected the civil judge Agustina Díaz Cordero.
