The Judicial CouncilThe key institution responsible for appointing and removing judges elected eight new members, four representing lawyers and four more representing judges. The opposition won in both elections. But the ruling party has added an advocate for lawyers. Now a new scenario opens with a third player: the ex-counselor Diego Molea that moved in tandem with Kirchnerism And now he promises to play with the president of the court, Horace Rosat.

together for change He won the federal license plate attorney election with almost 50% of the vote. In this way he managed to place two body lawyers, Miguel Piedecasas i Jimena of the tower. However, it lost ground to Kirchnerism, which was strengthened by the arrival of Labour. Hector Recaldi. The fourth vacancy was for a lawyer Fernanda VasquezAcademic Adviser Allied Diego Moleawho now has his block and promises to play with Judge Rosat.

of two There were no surprises for national and federal judges across the country: The elected judges were advisers Diego Barroetaveña and Agustina Dias CorderoFor the Bordeaux list, most critical of the government; Alberto Lugones, for Celeste’s list, which is usually voted by Kirchnerism; i Maria Alejandra ProvitolaFor the third list, judicial compromise.

Despite the fact that the place for change was lost among the lawyers and Kirchnerism added to the recalde, the result of the election of judges It will not change the existing representation in the Council: Today there are two directors of the Bordeaux List, one for Celeste and one for Court Commitment.

The scheme has been modified in council

The biggest surprises were the election of lawyers, which allows us to take a look at A A change in the internal balance of the Judicial Council with the emergence of its own block around Moleawhich will have a brand new advisor Vasquez and two advisors representing academics: Guillermo Tamarit and Pamela TolosaHowever, the latter has something to do with radicalism.

The new geography that this body, as influential as it is unknown, will have from 2023 will surely give them More protagonism for the judges. The double vote of the President of the Court, who heads the Council, will be decisive.

A voting battle between lawyers

Together for Change made a big choice among advocates, with about 50% of the vote And they placed the radical first Miguel Piedecasas (who was already the director) already Jimena of the tower“The profession has made a historic choice. This is the victory of the fight for the independence of justice from the values ​​of the republic and a message from civil society so that justice consists of honest, honest, hardworking judges with high ethical standards,” Piedekasas said. ღ.

through radicalism Gerardo Morales i Mario Nigri, congratulated Piedekasas on the election. “Great job,” wrote the president of the UCR National Committee with a photo of the winners.

However, Together for Change needed 52% of the vote to retain three attorneys. It took third place rememberformer national deputy, while Vasquez finished fourth.

After 99% of the votes were counted, the list of Piedecasa and de la Torre won 49.4%Which was followed by Recaldi’s Kirchnerist ticket, with 29.9%And Vazquez’s wage rate reached 20.5%.

Molea’s space captured the Buenos Aires vote, especially in the southern zone, and kept its list, against its will. Campora. This allowed him to cut the votes. Sparks flew and they prove it There is no possibility of approach, but everything is visible from the day of the new council. Molea already had a bitter confrontation with La Campora and the former Secretary of Justice in the past. Julian Alvarez in his small settlement of Lomas de Zamora and later served as an ally of Kirchnerism.

The balance of power in the Council of Justice will ultimately be determined when they are established Congress representatives. Christina Kirchner, in the Senate, split her block for the seat in the midterms two advisers own, but the prosecution of the scheme was carried out Louis the judge, who announced himself as the director. resource Still on the way to court awaiting a decision. The distribution of advisers, which reverts to two models of majority, one for the next political power and one for the third power, will change the scenario.

The same will happen when replaced Graciela Camano, which represents the federal consensus, but sometimes accompanied the ruling party in voting. The profile of the legislator who will take his place will determine how the new majority in the Council of Magistrates will be formed.
