The inspector of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI), Agustín Rossi, assured in the city of Rosario that “the judicial party exists and is made up of judges and prosecutors who work directly with the system of power” of the country, when participating in a panel on “Lawfare in Argentina and Latin America”, organized by the Latin American Thought Platform, La Corriente and the group Progressive Network.
“Either the parties are capable of building a political power that subordinates and disciplines corporate power, or the corporations are going to keep the different pieces of the country,” Rossi said during the meeting.
during his exhibition at the “Roberto Fontanarrosa” Cultural Center in Rosario, the head of the AFI assured that “the main contradiction in Argentine politics is democracy versus corporations.”
Rossi recalled that the judicial war or lawfare “was never applied against right-wing candidates or leaders”, but the mechanisms of judicial persecution combined with the action of the media and economic power they targeted the progressive sectors.”
“The judicial party exists, just as we said at the time of the dictatorship that the military party existed,” the Santa Fe leader of the Frente de Todos (FdT) abounded during the talk.
Rossi pointed out that the judicial party “It is a party made up of judges and prosecutors that works directly with the power system in Argentina.”
The official asked himself rhetorically who makes up that power, and replied that he is made up of “economic groups, media groups and the political right”
“All of that is what lawfare puts together; it weapons hate speech and generates the appearance of increasingly ultra-violent right-wing groups, which are capable of carrying out the attacks that they carried out“, he claimed.
The head of the AFI toured cases of judicial persecution for political purposes in other Latin American nations and located the growth of violent right-wing groups in “the main countries of the world.”
remembered the cases of the United States and Brazil and said that “it is not that hate speech has appeared now”.
“Before –he historicized- there were rumours. The rumors ended justified the hit against (the radical president Hipólito) Yrigoyen; the coup of ’55 was justified by the things that were said against (Juan Domingo) Perón”.
Thus, Rossi added that “in this last stage of the country a lot had to do with the conflict with the agricultural sector” in the circulation of hate speech.
“The word ‘mare’ He appeared at that moment against Cristina (Fernández de Kirchner), “he recalled, and also recalled the attack on his house in 2008 during the discussion about the mobile withholdings on some agricultural products.
From the panel on the use of the Judiciary To persecute popular leaders, the former Santa Fe deputy governor and university professor, Griselda Tessio, also participated; the provincial deputy of the Social and Popular Front Carlos Del Frade; and the lawyer and former provincial Minister of Justice, Juan Lewis.
