The initiative, presented in the last few hours by the FdT deputy Eduardo Valdés together with other ruling party legislators, consists of 410 pages and proposes to summon the four judges of the highest court: Horacio Rosatti -its president-, Carlos Rosenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ricardo Lorenzetti, to appear before the Political Judgment Commission of the Lower House, which will carry out the investigation.
In the draft resolution, which the deputies prepared based on the document promoted by the President, new complaints were also added to be investigated throughout the process, including one on the management of the social work of the Judiciary.
Regarding the ruling on the co-participation that benefited the City of Buenos Aires, the text maintains that “it is evident that the decision adopted by the Ministers of the Court is eminently political and partial, therefore, as such, it must be analyzed under the prism of the enormous political and economic impact that it causes within the federal co-participation scheme”.
“The Supreme Court privileged, in an ostensible and unfounded way, a partisan political agreement that, starting in 2016, promoted raising the co-participation coefficient of the richest district in the country. This is so, while the numerous arguments put forth in order to account for the arbitrariness that justified a disproportionate increase in this coefficient were not duly attended to,” the text states.
In the text, the deputies maintain that “all directors, secretaries, officials and/or employees of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation who have intervened and/or could provide data of interest regarding the facts denounced” must also be cited. “.
The national government formalized this morning the call for extraordinary sessions between “January 23 to February 28” to deal with 27 projects, among which are, in addition to the request for prosecution of the Supreme Court, a project to expand the number of members of the highest court, the modification of the Law of the Council of the Magistracy and a norm related to the treatment of the agreement required to designate the Attorney General of the Nation.
