The four judges of the Supreme Court today signed an agreement in which they ordered that the president of the court, Horace RosattiI swore in the new members of the Council of the Magistracy already appointed by the different estates (lawyers, judges, academics and the Executive Power), without the need to wait for Congress to send their representatives.
The appointment of one of the councilors by the Senate confronts Cristina Kirchner with the Supreme Court. Last week, the court considered that she had acted in bad faith in April, when she appointed the Kirchnerist Martín Doñate as counselor representing the second minority in the Senate; For this, the Frente de Todos divided into two, in a maneuver that the Court considered a “ruse.” The court judged that the place in dispute was then for the opponent Luis Juez.
Kirchnerism denounced that the judges were “overwhelming” the powers of the Senate and said that, for the next composition of the Council -which begins next week-, they are not going to modify the criteria, despite what the Court has said, and they will propose Doñate again. That guarantees a new conflict, but it hasn’t happened yet. So far, Cristina Kirchner has not sent any designation. Neither did Deputies. It is the presidents of the chambers who have to send the names of those elected to the Council.
