Javier Milei

Buenos Aires. As warned by former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the National Court of Cassation confirmed this Wednesday the sentence of six years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office against the Peronist for the Road Traffic case, which refers to the purchase of a public work in the southern province of Santa Cruz.

The sentence and its ratification were given without any evidence, because the conviction was based on false news published in the mass media of power, which is a true legal scandal, as has happened with other rulers in our region, such as in Brazil, with Lula da Silva.

More than 250 presidents, former presidents and political leaders immediately expressed their solidarity with Fernández de Kirchner, through a letter in which they repudiated the judicial ruling of judges Mariano Borinsky, Gustavo Hornos and Diego Barroetaveña, all of the so-called Judicial Party, by denouncing that It is a practice of lawfare “to outlaw it and install hate speech.”

Supported, among others, by presidents Xiomara Castro, of Honduras; Luis Arce, from Bolivia, or the former leaders Rafael Correa, from Ecuador and from Colombia, Ernesto Samper, the signatories also rejected the “political, media and judicial persecution to which they are being subjected.”

They pointed out that “there is no doubt that the case is part of a systematic plan of persecution, articulated by political, media and judicial sectors,” highlighting that the case was plagued by procedural and legal irregularities that caused a serious impact on constitutional guarantees. of the former president, especially her right to defense in court.”

They argued that the most dramatic consequence of this political persecution was “promoted by the hegemonic media, in the attempted assassination of September 1, 2022.”

The ruling is not final because there is an appeal, as a last resort, for the intervention of the Supreme Court of Justice, whose judges also belong to the Judicial Party, in addition to the open intervention of the US embassy.

The former president was not expected to go to prison now and even next year she may be a candidate in the legislative elections of 2025, and nor can perpetual disqualification from holding public office be imposed on her, because it only becomes effective when the sentences become final. , so there is still a way to go.

Likewise, she could not be convicted of the charge of illicit association, in which she was deemed to be the “boss” of it, along with a list of eight former officials, and a businessman from the province of Santa Cruz, who were also convicted this year. day.

This case had been closed due to a complete lack of evidence and was opened under the government of former president Mauricio Macri.

The time for the court to act is unlimited, even if it ratifies this sentence, the file must be returned to the Federal Oral Court 2 of the Comodoro Py courts.

The Supreme Court is not in its best moment and in addition to having demonstrated impartiality in recent years, it cannot be forgotten that former President Macri, in January 2016, less than a month after assuming power, appointed two judges by decree Carlos Rosenkrantz and Horacio Rosatti, which was quickly denounced as illegal and passed through the Senate, where it managed to prevail narrowly over the opposition.

Today the president, Javier Milei, commented that he does not rule out appointing by decree Ariel Lijo and Manuel García Mansilla to join the Supreme Court, which will remain with only three judges, due to the retirement of one of them.

Both judges are rejected by the opposition, not only from Unión por la Patria (Peronist), but by other sectors, and numerous investigations have appeared that denounce the lack of merit to assume these positions.

While Milei celebrated the conviction of the former president, whom he referred to as “guilty of acts of corruption,” he boasted on social networks about the influence that his government has on justice. “Everything comes,” he said in a message, adding: “Today we can affirm, without a doubt, that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is guilty of acts of corruption. End”.

Meanwhile, Cristina remained at the Instituto Patria party headquarters, where a number of militants attended and applauded her.

Afterwards, she met in the suburban neighborhood of Moreno with 400 women, to whom she said: “When you are a woman, everything is made twenty times more difficult for you. “Not only are they punishing me for everything I did, but also because I am a woman and they don’t believe that I am right.”

“How can they not give me a blow, they do what they did today in Comodoro Py,” he added.

She also recalled that the situation she is going through “alongside what thousands and thousands of women have had to endure” in terms of gender violence, this “I do not see as a sacrifice, but as an obligation of someone who has a country project”.

Buenos Aires. Hundreds booed and shouted “traitor to the country” at the president, Javier Milei, the day after he managed, with blackmail and vote buying, to get the Chamber of Deputies to endorse his veto of the university financing law, with which He tries with this to begin his plan to end public education.

Milei yesterday visited a restaurant where one of his libertarian followers took refuge, provoking protesters, students, retirees and others, who marched peacefully to try to prevent the president’s veto of this law from being validated. The screams surprised Milei and his guard could not do anything, which shows the increasingly important fall of whoever came to the government from a movement that had only 29 percent of adherents, although not militants, many of whom had already joined. they abandoned.

The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, intensified the conflict and on social networks warned: “to the violent anti-democratic people who beat, persecuted and robbed (which is false) the independent journalist (one of Milei’s trolls) Fran Fijap I say: Know that we are going to go after each one with the full force of the law. We have them all identified and they have no escape. Law and order.”

Ten months into Milei’s government, his far-right La Libertad Avanza is still not even a political party, it is a minority in Congress and only manages to obtain results through its partners from the Republican Proposal (PRO), led by former president Mauricio Macri ( 2015-2019), a sector of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), which has fractured due to this cause, and the authentic militants ask for the expulsion of the “pro Milei” considered traitors to the principles of that century-old party.

The veto became the beginning of a resistance that is manifested in the faculties and universities taken over throughout the country, in the national teaching strike carried out this Thursday, and the call for another one next Wednesday.

Milei has destroyed more of everything that the former president – until then a Peronist – Carlos Menem (1989-1999), and the radical Fernando de la Rúa (1999-2001), did, years in which the Argentine people exploded and then Macri who He left the country bankrupt with default on debt payments and owing another one hundred million dollars plus the 45 billion dollars that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) illegally awarded him.

For this reason, many call Milei “the “exterminator,” who has weakened the State, handing over sovereignty in a process that is very difficult to reverse. The phrase of a journalist from Page 12 defines it: “Milei won the palace, but lost the street.”

Salaries have been reduced, inflation is rising, tariffs are unaffordable for the population, businesses, restaurants and others are closing, Small and Medium Enterprises are collapsing, while the industry is collapsing and now even more so due to the import decrees of A number of products, worth the redundancy, Argentina produces.

It is the “chainsaw” effect promised to supposedly end the political “caste” and ends the population. “Far from closing the issue like the victory that was announced on the networks, the government and the very friendly opposition bought with this movement a conflict that threatens to grow exponentially as soon as the vote of Deputies was known,” he points out.
