Justice Minister Martín Soria considered that “there is no doubt that the judges’ visits to the former president, Mauricio Macri, in the Quinta de Olivos during his tenure will have “legal consequences”. In turn, the head of state, Alberto Fernández, added: “While there is no crime in a judge talking to a president, there is when the president gives orders to the judge.” He added that “the problem is that the judge is going to hold him accountable or have the president tell him what to do,” in statements to AM750 in two reports. For Soria, the income of judges and prosecutors to presidential residence “constitutes obscene evidence of the violation of the rule of law during the four years of Macri’s government. I have no doubt that there will be legal consequences on these facts.”
“We still have to determine, unravel, we have judges and prosecutors entering Macri’s office in the Rosada and the next day asking for prosecution or prosecuting previous government officials, in cases that later fell apart: it’s very serious,” added the former DEPUTY for Rio Negro. , and further anticipated that “there will surely be further allegations on these issues (visits to Macri)”. The official stated that although some “want to trivialize” the issue, “the Code of Criminal Procedure clearly lays down the rules for the excuse of a magistrate”.
Finally, he questioned, “We are talking about judicial officials who should certainly have excused the right to intervene in cases that are falling apart today, armed causes for the media covers,” and concluded, “The so-called Mesa Judicial M” was responsible for “harassing, stigmatizing and prosecuting all those who opposed Macri’s pattern of looting and indebtedness.”
