translated from Spanish: The Supreme Court meets to discuss the re-reeleccion in La Rioja

the Supreme Court of Justice will meet in the day, from 14, to analyze the request for change on the possibility to dismiss the popular consultation held in the prov starts from La Rioja to enable a new mandate of Governor Sergio Casas.El bastion of change in this province presented January 16 an extraordinary appeal to the Supreme Court to let it void plebiscite convened by the current Governor Sergio houses for the Sunday 27.La presentation was received by judge Horacio Rosatti and was signed by the President of the Rioja UCR, Hector Olivares, as well as by the financial controller of the PRO in that province, Marcelo Weschler.

As it was deepened in this note, the measure from which detaches the query popular, which is unusual in the Argentina, seeks to modify article 122 of the Constitution of the Rioja.Es in that space where it is established that the Governor and Lieutenant Governor” they may be re-elected or succeed each other for a single consecutive term.”

From the 10 December 2015, Governor is exercised by Luis Casas (front for victory) who arrived after play in the previous management as Deputy Governor of the outgoing (and current national Deputy) Luis Beder Herrera (2011-2015). The truth is that on 19 December last, the La Rioja legislature approved an amendment to article 122 of the Constitution. This is what will seek approval in the referendum. The amendment would install the possibility of indefinite re-election, something that constitutionally is only applicable in cases of Formosa, Catamarca and Santa Cruz.

Indeed, former Gov. Beder Herrera, whose intention is to return to power after having distanced himself from his former partner of formula and current representative in the province, prepares to arise out of the Peronist machine. Meanwhile, the fate of homes would seem to have a first indication of their future political, given that by the temporal proximity to the plebiscite, the eventual intervention of the Supreme Court can hardly take place in the popular consultation. They will then be the judges Rosenkrantz, Highton de Nolasco, Rosatti, Lorenzetti and Maqueda which will decide if they do place or not to order from Cambiemos.En this note:
