"The sentence was already written: Macri and the judicial mafia wrote it"

The Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Martín Soria, considered this Thursday that the foundations of the ruling in the trial of the so-called Road Traffic case, which were known this Thursday, “They are absolutely political” and said that “the objective” of that ruling is to prohibit Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner from being “re-elected”.

The Federal Oral Court (TOF) number 2 announced the foundations of his verdict in the Highway, in a resolution of more than 1,600 pages that condenses the development of the oral and public process that culminated on December 6. From now on, all parties will be able to appeal it before the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation, including the defense of the former president.

“They tried to blame Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for different illegal acts in an absolute circus. The objective is to prohibit the Vice President so that she is re-elected. I have never seen a ruling like this. It is something absolutely political. It’s kind of outrageous”said the minister in statements to Radio 10.

For Soria, in the grounds released today by the TOF 2 “there is not a single fact that supports that the Vice President committed a crime,” he remarked.

“This judiciary is not serious. He lost his way a long time ago. These judges choose gorilla anniversaries to denounce and announce sentences”Soria asserted, referring to the fact that March 9 marks a new anniversary of the promulgation of Decree 4,161 by the dictatorship of Pedro Eugenio Aramburu. That rule, issued on March 9, 1956, prohibited the mention of the names of Juan Domingo Perón, Eva Duarte de Perón and the dissemination of partisan symbols of Justicialism..

Soria also contributed that “On page 313 of the foundations it can be clearly read that (the judges) do not have any type of proof and that they sentenced politically”.

“The ones who judged Cristina are the band of ‘Los Abrojos’, one of those who played soccer with Mauricio Macri in his country house. This Judiciary is not very serious, it lost its way a long time ago. These same judges could not even prove a single act of corruption,” Soria said.

“They seek to bury the 12 years of a project”

The Minister of Public Works, Gabriel Katopodis, assured that with the sentence that the Vice President received, she seeks to “bury the 12 years of a project” and ensure that Argentines do not have “the right to think of another model for the country.”

“The clearest thing is that they seek to sentence something else. With the persecution of Cristina and the preparation of causes, they seek to bury 12 years of the project. They want to screw up our lives in a concrete way, they have used the attack and the persecution since 2015 so that the Argentines We do not have the right to think of another country model”Katopodis said in statements for El Destape Radio.

“Peronism is going to defend Cristina because she always defends those compañeros and compañeras who do good for their people,” said Katopodis, and considered that the objective of the sentence is to “bury and cover” the governments headed by former president Néstor and Cristina Kirchner.

“They want to demonize what Cristina symbolized and represents. The judges subscribe to those who have other interests,” said Katopodis, for whom the former president “symbolizes labor laws, public education, national production.”

“They come for it and aim for something bigger. They want to rewrite history and erase Peronism, we have to build a social majority that allows these discussions to take place and win them,” he added.

“With persecution there is no full democracy”

Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero warned that “with persecution there is no full democracy” and maintained that in this way began “the formal path towards the proscription” of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

“With the ‘fundamentals’ of the sentence, the formal path towards the banning of the comrade @CFKArgentina begins. They seek to discipline Peronism and condition the electoral process,” Cafiero published on his official account on the social network Twitter.

The Minister of Foreign Relations maintained that “in what is truly important, Peronism has no nuances.”

“With persecution there is no full democracy. But let us know, compañeras and compañeros, that history is fair and the peoples win,” he remarked.

Finally, Cafiero added that “this was demonstrated” by the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and that of Bolivia, Evo Morales, with the judicial situations that their countries went through.

The Chief of Staff, Agustín Rossi, joined, who maintained that the grounds of the ruling “ratify the proscriptive effect” of the sentence and affirmed that the case “was armed and addressed with a single objective: to condemn” the Vice President.

“As we have been maintaining, the foundations of the ruling ratify the proscriptive effect of the sentence against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The road case was armed and addressed with a single objective: to condemn CFK,” said the chief of staff.

“A Parody”

For the national deputy for the Frente de Todos (FdT) Leopoldo Moreau, the grounds that were found in the Highway case “are a parody” and a way of “drawing” the sentence that sentenced Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to six years prison in the trial that ended on December 6.

“The sentence was already written: it was written by (former President Mauricio) Macri and the judicial mafia. Any foundation had to be put to that sentence. They took enough time to draw them and that is what was known today”affirmed the legislator in statements to the C5N channel.

Within this framework, the legislator assured that the grounds constitute “one more step in the parody of the trial that is being carried out” by a court that “is not impartial.”

The deputy maintained that, “without a doubt, they seek to ban the Vice President” and assured that there is “a systematic plan of political persecution that has been carried out for a long time with a mafia that has installed itself in the highest hierarchies of the power of attorney”.

“The voices in rejection of these fundamentals are going to multiply. Surely on Saturday they will reach a very high peak in the plenary session (of the Kirchnerist militancy) of Avellaneda and it will spread throughout the country”Moreau stated.

In that sense, he added that “Argentine society has in its memory very much what the proscriptions have meant.”

“The judicial mafia supplanted the military power in the persecution of the national and popular movement that was exercised during the 20th century. It is a trial (that of the Highway cause) that has significance because it falls on Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Beyond who would have been the defendants, it was an illegal, arbitrary process and a violation of the basic principles of law and due process,” he said.

“The fundamentals, like the sentence, are a parody that only serves to throw in the garbage can, if they did not have the institutional repercussion that they intend to have”Leopold Moreau

Along the same lines, the deputy and head of the CTA, Hugo Yasky, pointed out that “today a lot of paper and a lot of ink were published in the judicial pages that conclusively prove one thing: Cristina is wanted to be banned from Argentine politics The only goal is to disable it forever.”

Likewise, the Secretary of Human Rights, Horacio Pietragalla Corti, posted that the former president was “always for the people. Never for the corporations”, while the national deputy Rodolfo Tailhade published a new flyer with the legend: “Make the Homeland. Break the Proscription. Take care of Argentina, Milite Cristina”.

Mendoza senator Anabel Fernández Sagasti also remarked that “with a ban there is no democracy” and used the two hashtags most chosen by the Kirchnerists in recent hours: “#BastaDeProscripción #NadaSinCristina”.

For the mayor of Quilmes, Mayra Mendoza, “the judicial mafia wants to ban her, the Argentine people will not allow it. To take care of Argentina, we are going forward with Cristina,” she said.

For her part, the deputy and general secretary of the Federation of Judicial Workers Unions, Vanesa Siley, assessed that “judges today publish the most embarrassing sentence of recent democratic times.”

“As with Perón, ‘Fight and Come Back’ also with Cristina Kirchner,” Siley insisted, alluding to the motto of the event to be held this Saturday the 11th in Avellaneda, where a plenary of militants will fight for the nomination of the former president and “defeat to the ban”.

The TOF ruling was announced on December 6; That same day, minutes after the verdict was known, the Vice President and head of the Senate replied from her social networks: “They want me dead or imprisoned. I am not going to be a candidate. My name will not be on the 2023 ballot. I am not going To be a candidate, I will not have privileges. Let them put me in jail, but your pet (Héctor) Magnetto, never “.

Three weeks later, in her first public appearance after learning of the ruling, Cristina Kirchner participated on December 27 in the inauguration of a sports center in Avellaneda, where she clarified: “It is neither resignation nor self-exclusion, it is a ban.”
