national senators Maria Agnes Pilatti Vergara, Mariano Recalde (in front of everyone) and Edouard Vischi (of the Radical Civic Union) were sworn in this morning as members of the Judicial Council during a brief ceremony hosted by the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation but which endorsed the climate of confrontation between the ruling party and the highest court.
“I want to say that this fact does not mean in any way to minimize, let alone make the grievance to our bloc of the Frente de Todos disappear, since under apparent reasons the same right to swear has been denied to the senator Make a donation“, declared Pilatti Vergara on the podium in front of the President of the Court and of the Council, Horace Rosattiwhen he took the oath. Along the same lines, Recalde spoke, who also referred to the distribution of powers and the “unjustified” delay in the implementation of the Council.
The tense climate ended with the rapid evacuation of representatives of the ruling party from the Bermejo room on the fourth floor of the Palace of the Courts. Thus, it was not possible to take the usual photo after the swearing in of all members of the Council with the judges of the Court.
The same situation was experienced last December during the swearing in of the representatives of the Chamber of Deputies. Kirchner’s Legislators Rodolfo Tailhade and Vanessa Siley They swore “subject” and there was no official photo either. Tailhade and Siley were not at today’s ceremony, during which, unlike others, there was little political presence. Yes, the radical governor of Corrientes was there, Gustavo Valdesto whom the senator and now counselor Vischi, and the president of the Association of Magistrates, Marcelo Gallo Tagle.

Thus, the confrontation between the ruling party and the Supreme Court, which has as its axis the political trial that the government has initiated against Rosatti, has been ratified. Carlos Rosenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ricardo Lorenzetti -the four present at the swearing-in- due to different facts but mainly due to the joint participation decision in favor of the government of Horace Rodriguez Larreta -presidential candidate of the PRO- and the resolutions on the Council, among which the one that prevented Doñate from taking office in the organization.
The oath was accompanied by two demonstrations. On the sidewalk of the Palacio de Tribunales, at 500 Talcahuano Street, a group of 50 Kirchner demonstrators accompanied the senators. “With Cristina you can’t lose”sang and carried signs with the phrase “Missing Gift”. On the sidewalk in front of about fifteen people who introduced themselves as “The Republican Team” they had flags and t-shirts that said “It’s justice or corruption”.
With the oath of the three senators, the Council has 19 members. Subtract the assumption of one more to complete your 20 limbs. This place also corresponds to the Senate. The ruling party proposed Doñate but the Supreme Court rejected his nomination based on a decision last year in which he had already been removed from office because Kirchnerism split its bloc in the Senate to retain this position. place. For the highest court, this maneuver was a “ruse” and it endorsed it for the new integration of the Council.

It now remains to be seen to which Senate block this place corresponds. The PRO claims it for himself and asks Louis Judge. The senator cordobés started a lawsuit to integrate the Council. This file has two parts. One to the Federal Chamber of Administrative Litigation and the other directly to the Supreme Court where he went directly per saltum. For now, his proposal has been rejected in the first instance and the other definitions are awaited. In per saltum, the National Senate challenged judges Rosatti, Maqueda and Rosenkrantz not to intervene in the case.
The Council should have been integrated since November of last year, but because of these fights, they prevented it. The last time the Council met in plenary session was in June last year. With the swearing in of the three senators, it is expected to start functioning or if the arrival of the 20 councilor is expected. The first step will be to elect the presidents and members of the five Council committees and the Vice-President. who will be second to Rosatti.
No one is betting that this step will be easy or that throughout the year the Council will function steadily due to the open confrontation between the ruling party and the Court and due to the election year which has already begun due to the disputes on the candidacies in the Frente de Todos and in Together for Change.
