The worst practices that can be carried out in a Republic that claims to want to preserve the rule of law have recently been exposed. We have seen an inadmissible advance of the judiciary over the others, President Fernández pointed out in a message to the Argentine people published this morning.
During the last days, messages exchanged between the capital’s Justice and Security Minister, Marcelo D’Alessandro, and Silvio Robles, Rosatti’s spokesman, were disclosed.
According to the Página 12 newspaper and the Télam news agency, during these conversations Robles provided information to D’Alessandro about a CS ruling regarding the increase in co-participating funds for this city and told him how to act.
Fernández denounced the existence of “a scandalous link, behaviors and dialogues between judicial officials and opposition politicians in which decisions are anticipated and grounds are recommended to be used when deciding cases with undoubted institutional significance.”
Upon taking office, I swore to uphold the Constitution. I must prevent the Council of the Magistracy from continuing to be manipulated with unusual jurisprudential interpretations that allow the judiciary to meddle in the decisions of Congress, he affirmed.
It is my duty to promote actions when the federal system is put into crisis through an unnecessary precautionary measure and the improper proposal of an autonomous city, he added when referring to the support of the CS for the increase in funds for this capital.
The President announced that he called on the governors to support the holding of a process against Rosatti so that his conduct in the performance of his duties be investigated.
We will also need to inquire about the behavior of the other members of the highest court. In addition, I will order the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Martín Soria, to promote the pertinent criminal actions to investigate the alleged acts of corruption that would involve officials from this city with business contractors from that autonomous state.
I aspire that in 2023, while we are celebrating 40 years of democracy, we agree to build a rule of law in which justice punishes those responsible without impunity pacts and in which politics forever forgets the corrupt practices that caused so much damage to his credibility, he asserted.
Know that I will fulfill my oath and enforce the Constitution, he concluded.
