The Court’s ruling on the Council of the Magistracy “is a subjugation of the Judiciary,” denounced senators of the Frente de Todos

Senators of the Frente de Todos interbloc held a press conference this afternoon in which they rejected the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated the appointment of Senator Martín Doñate and ordered the reinstatement of Luis Juez, of the PRO. “This manipulation that (Horacio) Rosatti tries to do is evident. The ruling does not have any type of applicability within the rules of the Chamber,” said Anabel Fernández Sagasti, vice president of the ruling bloc. On the terms of the ruling, he said: “It seems more like a note from Clarín than a ruling of a state power for the vocabulary and expletives to the President of the Senate (Cristina Fernández de Kirchner).” In its resolution, the highest court described as “ruse” and “ruse” the maneuver of the vice president – to split the Frente de Todos bloc to keep the second minority, which originally corresponded to the PRO – to win a seat to the opposition in the new Council of the Magistracy, from the ruling of the Court that declared the 2006 reform unconstitutional and ordered the reinstatement of the 1997 norm. which establishes a composition of 19 members and gives the presidency of the judicial body to the head of the Supreme Court (Horacio Rosatti).” It is a subjugation of the Judicial Branch on the power that Congress and senators have to constitute as many blocs as they decide or deem appropriate,” said Lucia Corpacci, vice president of the National Bloc and Popular.La legislator warned that the ruling “interferes with democracy” and warned of “a series of facts that put democracy at risk.” “Why is the partition of our bloc questioned and not that of the other blocs?” he asked. And he asserted: “It is not up to the Justice or the Supreme Court whether it can be done or not.”
