In the first working day after the judicial fair, the Government deepened the confrontation with the Supreme Court in the context of the discussion for the co-participating funds to be sent to the Municipality. Carlos Zannini as Treasury Prosecutor extended the recusal of the four members of the highest court who in December ordered the State to return the cut funds to the Municipality.
While Kirchnerism tries to advance in Congress with the political trial against the ministers of the Court who unanimously signed the sentence obliging the Executive Branch to pay more funds to the administration of Buenos Aires, the head of all lawyers he persisted with new arguments over the members of the highest court to continue to intervene in the complaint.
“With this brief expansion of the presentation made on December 27, 2022, I come to challenge the President of this Court, Dr. Horacio Daniel Rosatti; and the remaining Supreme Court magistrates, Dr. Carlos Rosenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ricardo Lorenzetti,” the letter to which he consented clarion.
Days after the Supreme Court ordered the nation to begin transferring 2.95% of the funds jointly to the administration of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, the Treasury Attorney filed a request for revocation of the injunction. In this regard, he requested it grant suspensive effect to this appealis justified and, appropriately, the precautionary measure issued is cancelled.
In conjunction with this claim, Zannini signed in the name of the interests of the state, the recusal of the four ministers of the Tribunal so that they cease to intervene in this conflict.
It happens that even if the supreme court confirmed the precautionary measure filed by the Attorney General of the city, in charge of Gabriel Astarloa, The substantive issue still remains to be resolved.: the Buenos Aires government requests the reinstatement of the 3.5% co-ownership percentage and the return of more than 252,000 million pesos for what they stopped receiving since September 2020 when Alberto Fernández reduced the percentage of those funds.
The National Attorney of the Treasury asked the members of the court to exempt themselves from continuing to intervene in the case, subsidizing their recusal; and, moreover, it filed a request for revocation in order to make the precautionary measure issued on 12.21.2022 ineffective”.
In the Wednesday’s presentation expanded on that claim.refers to the role of the Chief Justice for the “appearance of supposedly exchanged messages with Silvio Robles; that is to say the same official of the board of directors of Dr. Rosatti whose behavior motivated the previous censure formulated in court by the state representation”, with Marcelo D’Alessandro Minister of City Security.
He also used, as a built-in test the impeachment request that is being processed in Congress and promoted by Kirchnerism. Zannini considered that “there is a picture of the situation of unprecedented gravity; in which the exercise of its functions by the Supreme Court is strongly suspected”.
In the letter, the Attorney of the Treasury insisted that the Presidents of the National and Federal Chambers “throw a lot on the contestation to Dr. Rosatti, that it is a case that could mean a turning point in the life of the institutions of our Republic.”
In the definition they adopt – remarked Carlos Zannini – “society’s trust in the impartiality, objectivity and transparency of the judiciary will be at stake of the nation”.
Together, the letter points to the other members of the highest court who have also been requested by the ruling party to be impeached. He cited in this section the requirement that governors and leaders of Kirchnerism sign to start the process in the National Congress.
