Macri stressed that the Court’s ruling “puts a limit on the abuse of power”

After the ruling of the Supreme Court that suspended the elections in Tucumán and San Juan, the former president of the Nation Mauricio Macri affirmed that the decision “puts a limit on the abuse of power” which he described as “feudal” in recent days, although he clarified that it does not include the province of Jujuy within that qualification. ” This decision puts a limit on the abuse of power in provinces whose system of government has been described with the metaphor of “feudal”, because of the almost absolute power accumulated by the governors, “began the former president in his disclaimer that he titled: “They can’t stand limits being put on them”, where he also included a nod to Gerardo Morales, who had stressed that his province was not feudal, and clarified that Jujuy did not fall, in his opinion, into that category. In that sense, he stressed that “the Supreme Court is the referee of our life in common” and made an analogy between the highest court with soccer referees. And he affirmed that “without the independence and legitimacy of the Supreme Court, we are left without rules in politics and in our coexistence, and neither can it be played.” The former president was also very hard on Alberto Fernández and the Frente de Todos in general for the reaction to the ruling: “As always, one of the most depressing issues of these episodes is the reaction of the government and, in particular, President Fernández. They do not tolerate that a power of the State puts limits on them, although their constitutional work is precisely that. They not only criticize the ruling: they criticize the very legitimacy of the Court to decide. That conduct, of the president and the government coalition, is undemocratic,” he said. The response of the former president came after the ruling of the Supreme Court that generated political commotion not only by the specific fact of the suspension of the elections in Tucumán and San Juan, which had scheduled the elections for May 14, but by the responses of different officials, among them, President Alberto Fernández and Eduardo “Wado” de Pedro. that is capable of adapting its decisions to the political needs of the opposition and left, once again, in evidence its anti-democratic character and its profound disregard for the federal regime that governs us.”
