As a “historic decision” described the spokesperson for the Presidency, Gabriela Cerruttithe measure that the president took Alberto Fernandez and a group of governors to initiate him impeachment to the members of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (CSJN).
In a strong defense of this position, the spokeswoman confirmed that the Government will summon extraordinary sessions for the second half of January this is how this topic and other economic ones are treated.
Likewise, he referred to the cases of provincial leaders Gustavo Bordetfrom Entre Rios, and Mariano Arcionifrom Chubut, amid speculation about whether or not they accompanied the request against the magistrates of the highest court.
The official who responds to Fernández confirmed that “Indeed it will be for the second half of January“the legislative treatment of this initiative, at the same time that he clarified that the call for extraordinary meetings will be out next week.
“The President and the governors made the historic decision to push the impeachment trial to the Supreme Court of Justice. This is a historic decision that has to do with the seriousness of the situation, where the Court intervenes in the actions of other powers, violating the Constitution”, began his press conference Cerruti, who criticized that the highest court has decided on the Council of the Magistracy and also that it has ordered the national government to return part of the co-participation funds that it took from the city of Buenos Aires.
Convinced that the judges of the Court were against the division of powers and against federalism, she recalled that yesterday Fernández met with two representatives of Deputies – the president of the Impeachment Commission, Carolina Gaillard, and the head of the official bloc, Germán Martínez- so that “times are as short as possible“.
The spokesperson confirmed that the Government will convene extraordinary sessions for the second half of January
What happened to Arcioni and Bordet, according to the Casa Rosada
In the midst of the controversies over the signatures of governors that appeared in the official statement, but which were questioned, the spokeswoman gave the official position on the two cases that caused friction: that of Arcioni and that of Bordet.
“The governor of Chubut is out of the country. At the request of his governor, the lieutenant governor participated via Zoom and accompanied. Nor is it a matter of signing a paper, but rather that he accompanied the project, the request, “he said regarding the first.
Then it was about the Entre Ríos president. “Bordet told the President that he was going to participate in the meeting and support. He participated in the meeting and in at no time did he show any other position or said nothing else, which is why his name was included in the statement. Later the governor repented, changed his mind, everyone is free to do what they want, “he stated regarding the thorniest situation.
In an attempt to downplay these two issues, Cerruti stated that what is “important and transcendent” is that the President and “half of the governors” drive this decision. And she even she was hopeful of add more supporters as the proposal advances.
“Maybe as the days and weeks go by, when the discussion begins in the Impeachment Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, we will be able to have not only the possibility that other governors, but other actors in society, can express themselves. That is what the debate in committee is for. We hope that a number of mechanisms that have hurt Argentina can be made transparent,” he said, while joining Fernández’s words yesterday in Misiones when the spokeswoman said that this is “the most federal government in history” and that they have an “excellent” relationship with the provincial leaders.
And although he admitted that these proposals “do not enter into the concerns of the people”, Cerruti pointed out that when the institutions do not work, the lives of citizens are complicated.
