The President of the Nation, Alberto Fernandez, led a new national network and harshly questioned the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, which ordered the suspension of the elections to renew governor and vice president in the provinces of San Juan and Tucumán. The president pointed hard against the magistrates and criticized the “undemocratic nature” of the decision.
“They can forget federalism and suspend an election, but they can never suspend the popular will”, shot Fernández and announced that he will send to the Political Judgment Commission of the Chamber of Deputies “the decisions made” on Tuesday by the magistrates of the highest Argentine court. “We promote the political trial that is taking place in the National Congress and where new evidence emerges every day, and new paths of investigation are opened before complaints and witnesses’ statements. I want to announce that we are going to send the background of these decisions made yesterday to join the grounds for impeachment, to continue demonstrating how this Court violates the division of powers and federalism,” he explained in this regard.
The president warned that the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice “has shown once again that it is capable of adapting its decisions to the political needs of the opposition and thus, once again, has revealed its undemocratic character and its profound disregard for the federal regime that governs us”. “The suspension of the elections in the provinces of San Juan and Tucumán leaves democracy hostage to a group of judges who do not observe criteria of justice and who every day, in light of what is seen in the investigation that is being carried out the Impeachment Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, are more involved in severe administrative irregularities and in maneuvers that serve the current opposition”he added in the framework of his national chain message.
The Argentine president also maintained that the ruling “affects two provinces in which the triumph of Peronism was projected, which would have added to other triumphs of the ruling party that occurred last Sunday.” “Nor can I fail to observe that the failure occurs immediately after the Mauricio Macri treat the northern provinces as ‘fiefs’ in which their political space foresaw defeats,” he added.
