The national deputy for the Frente de Todos (FdT) Vanesa Siley considered that the impeachment of the Court will serve to raise “action outside the Constitution” with which the highest court acts, and assured that the magistrates who currently make up the higher instance of the Judiciary “never issued a sentence in favor of the people.”
“We have been proposing for a long time the actions that the Supreme Court has outside the Constitution. The composition of this court is a deformation of the Court that was established at the beginning of the government of Néstor Kirchner. By action or omission, this court that was left over from the one that was formed in 2003, never had a ruling in favor of the people.”Siley said in statements for AM530.
Siley is a member of the Council of the Magistracy and a member of the Impeachment Committee of the Chamber of Deputies and will be part of the commission that must investigate the actions of the Supreme Court and its four members when processing of the request begins in that instance. impeachment process promoted by President Alberto Fernández and a group of governors.
The head of state and provincial leaders presented this request for impeachment against the four members of the Supreme Court (Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Ronzenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ricardo Lorenzetti) for “poor performance of their duties” and “manifest partiality” to the time to make decisions.
Fernández delivered this request to the Chamber of Deputies and asked the head of the block of FdT deputies, Germán Martínez, and the president of the Impeachment Committee, Carolina Gaillard, for its “prompt legislative treatment.”
“Today only two members are 50% of the Court and one of them presides over the governing body of the Judiciary, of an entire state power,” he said.
He also recalled that this Court “paralyzed” the body that appoints and sanctions judges (the Judicial Council) and thanks to that “the actions of judges cannot be dealt with.”
Finally, Siley explained that the impeachment request will cover three items: “The Council of the Magistracy, the principle of the division of powers and co-participation.”
