The Fernandez's are sending a bill to Congress to reform Argentina's justice system

Making a monkey of the law

In Argentina, where many think all politicians are crooks, millions are more than happy to vote for individuals they know have always been on the take and who, if elected, will continue to put their personal business interests before anything to do with the welfare of their compatriots.

Justice (reform) for all

The judicial reform bill will truly test the ruling coalition's capacity for the first time since President Fernández took office late last year.

Alberto Fernández on Wednesday formally announced that he is sending a bill to Congress to reform Argentina's justice system. The president has also established an advisory commission of 11 legal experts that will consider the standing of the Supreme Court, the Magistrates Council (the court system’s disciplinary body), and the prosecutor's office. The commission has 90 days to recommend changes....

Isn't this little more than Fernandez's attempt to take over the judicial branch? Creating a bunch of new courts, expanding the supreme court, etc. The ultimate outcomes will basically be a Fernandez controlled judiciary. Argentina is such a joke.

This is truly a disgrace. At a moment of extreme national crisis and a moment when the current VP and her family members have multiple serious charges against them in court, this gets pushed through. Yet no mention of political reform and limiting the interference or influence of the executive in the judicial branch. We all heard the protests from our balconies when this was announced.

If you rewind the clock a few years there are numerous videos of Alberto back in his lecturer days raging against the very same ideas of judicial "reform" he just announced. But well, another story of the organ-grinder and monkey I suppose.

Am seriously beginning to wonder if this is just a "burner" government where Alberto is being set up to fail, but only after making certain parts of the political class "bullet proof" to be able to continue lives of impunity, or worse, go on to take the rest of it. This is what they call "Democracy".

I was working Federal cases for 20 years.
The problem was Macri couped the Consejo de la Magistratura with the double agent Pichetto and Recondo. Pichetto suppoused to represent the opposition with a double vote while Recondo supposed to represent judges but he was a Macri "employed". I asked for his destitution last week.
I don't like the reform, it can be better. Instead of adding the Federal tax judges to the Comodoro Py ones, they should add the National Judges of CABA instead of sending them to be county judges of Larreta. Instead of having 10, with the reform there are going to be 20 judges that is more difficult to control. With the adding of national judges they would have 130 that is impossible to manipulate neither to control.

If you see the video of Antipodean, then you understand why CFK has chooses him.

Listen to Jorge Fernandez Diaz every night on AM792 and between 8pm and 9pm this theory is gets a very good run. Although the plan was clear from the start, nobody could have predicted the pandemic, which has made has made Alberto's other contracted transitionary function (stabilize the economy) impossible. As the economy will, for the first time, explode during a Peronist government, Diaz and colleagues analyse Tweets and other pronoucements that show CFK rapidly marking her distance from Alberto so as not to be associated with the decisions that lead to the coming disaster. It's great listening, if a bit repetitive after a few nights.

I for one would not trust any justice reform where Bajo Cero was not on the advisory committee

First chamber of judges from the criminal court have come out to label it as “unconstitutional”... a common theme in many things this government touches it seems.

They are right. They are non recognized Federal Judges.
