Senators Judge Louis (Pro-cord) and Oscar Parrill (Frente de Todos-Neuquén) A powerful crossroads took place this afternoon when Cordovan cynically and hypocritically described the ruling party’s decision, sparking a debate over the expansion of the court just a week after they broke “all codes” of cohabitation. In the Upper Chamber, which implies a decision Christina Kirchner Divide the Kirchner bloc in two to retain another seat on the Judicial Council.

“Neither the word is broken here, nor the word is broken. I’m not a hypocrite, please drop this charge, “said Parril, an outraged ultra-Kirchnerist who defended the ruling party’s maneuver to enforce the Supreme Court ruling and the process. The frustration of the opposition, which was demanding this seat in the Judicial Council for the senator judge.

Cordovan did not keep silent and confirmed his words behind the microphone. “I have said that I am not cynical or hypocritical to discuss this in the Senate one week after the violation of all the codes; “If the jacket fits, it’s not my fault,” the judge insisted.

“Do not be alive. Do you want me to repeat what he said? “It is recorded,” Parili claimed.

The opposition senator’s words also caused discomfort among other members of the ruling party who made accusations. “From the analysis of discourse, when one speaks for oneself, without mentioning the other, it is clear that we are the other,” said official Christina Lopez Valverde (San Juan). Maria Eugenia Catalfamo (San Luis) and Sylvia Sapag (Neuken) also added their complaints.

The controversy became the most tense moment in the debate over the expansion of the judiciary, a debate that the Senate began this afternoon at a plenary session of the Committees on Constitutional Affairs and Justice and Criminal Affairs.

In treatment There are four projects. This Wednesday, Neuquén Sapag unveiled a new initiative offering to increase the number of members of the Supreme Court to 15, among other issues. Thus, he joined the promotion of an official Adolfo Rodriguez Saa (San Luis), which offers a nine-judge court; Provincial Alberto Veretilnek (With Domos Río Negro), which sets up a court of 16 magistrates, and dissident Peronist Clara Vega (La Rioja), which intends to regulate gender equality only in court.

The debate started half an hour late due to the delay in the meeting of the ruling party quorum. Senators warned of the situation from Together for Change in the courtroom and waiting for Kirchnerism to sit down with its legislators.

Without the guests, the plenary session was based on the submission of senators who presented their draft proposals and the need to include the debate on the enlargement of the court on the legislative-political agenda, an issue that the opposition considered “inappropriate for change”. “Given the economic reality that the country is experiencing.

Thus, Rodriguez Saam recalled that since 2016 he has been supporting Supreme Court expansion projects. “The goal is much higher” than to consider the number of members of the court, said the former governor of San Luis, denying the allegations of the opposition.

As reported ᲔᲠᲘHead of the Upper House Pro Bloc, Humberto Shiavon (Misiones), called “Christina Kirchner’s new attack on the court” the opening of a discussion on the composition of the court in the upper house.

Like his official counterpart, Vertilnek showed himself to be worried about rejecting the possibility argument. In this regard, he said, those who hold this position are doing nothing but express their intention to change nothing.

“It’s always time to break the status quo,” said Rio Negro, who wondered if “a retiree has been waiting up to 10 years for a court order to decide on a social security case, whether it’s not a people’s problem.”

It was at that moment that the judge intervened, questioning the ruling party’s move, who, on the vice-president’s maneuver to keep him on the magistrate’s board, recalled that the ruling party was due to an internal rift. , Has not yet filled the vacancy left by Elena Hayton of Nolasko in court.

“It seems absolutely inappropriate to me that this Senate, a week after the dynamite of the pawnshop speech, will come to tell the Argentines which court they deserve,” Cordovan concluded.

He added his own criticism Beatrice Avila (Pro-Tukuman). “The intention here is to advance state power,” the senator said. “Once again, the Senate is addressing issues that only politicians are interested in,” he added.

Following the reaction of Kirchnerism against the criticism of the opposition, the Chairman of the Constitutional Affairs Committee, Official Guillermo Snopek (Zhujui), the meeting was moved to an intermediate room until next week, when it is expected that the first guests will attend to discuss the proposals under consideration. The ruling party has not yet said when it intends to move the issue to the polling station.
