The decision was supported by 16 votes from the Frente de Todos (FdT) and rejected by 15 from other groups, mostly from the opposition alliance “Together for Change”.

In this way, 14 files were admitted against the head of the CS, Horacio Rosatti, and his colleagues Carlos Rosenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ricardo Lorenzetti.

Now the Commission will proceed to the opening of a summary and will begin a period of investigation, collection of evidence and testimonies to determine if an opinion is issued accusing the members of the Court, a stage that can take at least three months.

In a resolution read by the president of that entity, Carolina Gaillard, and approved this day, the deputies state that “the 14 requests accumulate more than 60 facts that would configure the grounds authorized by the Constitution to declare poor performance and crimes committed in the exercise of functions”.

In addition, it points out that, if proven, they would demonstrate the existence of major violations and an extremely serious institutional situation that implies the rupture of the harmony of a Federal State and a republican and democratic regime.

At the beginning of January, President Alberto Fernández and 11 governors asked to analyze the members of the CS and the FdT legislators prepared a 410-page document, in which they detail the violations committed by them.

The text ensures the existence of an inadmissible institutional degradation that jeopardizes the republican system of division of powers.

As he explains, this occurred mainly due to actions of the Court such as the declaration of unconstitutionality of Law 26,088, which had been in force for 16 years and established the functioning of the Council of the Magistracy.

The CS also favored the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires with the increase in co-participating funds and issued a precautionary measure to force the State to pay this increase to this capital, even though this is not contemplated in the approved Budget for 2023.
