The president, Alberto Fernández, announced on Twitter that he will pay with bonds the return of the co-participation to the city of Buenos Aires, after the ruling of the Supreme Court. He clarified that it will be “the money corresponding to 90 days of validity of the precautionary measure, pending the final ruling, or a law of Congress that assigns the relevant budgetary resources to this payment.”
Alberto Fernández said that he instructed the Chief of Staff, led by Juan Manzur, “to reallocate the only resources available for the year 2022 and transfer them to a Banco Nación account in the name of the GCBA”: “TX31 bonds will be used and they will be will make available for compliance with the precautionary measure that we are challenging.”
In this way, the President reversed his initial position of non-compliance with the sentence. Now he said on Twitter that “judicial decisions are mandatory even when I deem them disvaluable and unfair”: “Respectful of the rule of law, I will seek to reverse the bad resolution of the CSJN and return to the path of federalism, observing and enforcing the Constitution as I have sworn to do ”.
The President said that he must respect the laws in force: “Article 22 of Law 23,982 indicates that the payments ordered to the National State by court order must be provided for in the Budget Law. I warn that neither the 2022 nor the 2023 Budget, voted by a large majority, provides for these payments”.
The National State has been notified of the precautionary measure granted by the CSJN in favor of CABA.
