Alberto vs CABA and the Supreme Court

    If the president doesn't respect a ruling by the supreme court, why should anyone else in this country obey the law?

    What a wonderful example this government is setting and redefines 'chaos theory'.

    From TN:


    Los ejes del trasfondo político:

    • Alberto Fernández sigue la línea de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner de enfrentar a Justicia, especialmente en una época donde se acumulan condenas e investigaciones en contra de la Vice y su gente.
    • Alberto, desnudo de poder político u debilitado, aprovecha esta circunstancia para rodearse de gobernadores.
    • Los gobernadores, por su parte, quieren asegurarse que el año próximo les llegarán fondos para hacer obra pública financiada por la Nación y tener alguna chance electoral.
    • Los mandatarios provinciales también calculan que el turno electoral de 2023 será esquivo para el FdT y utilizan este embate para posicionarse en un lugar de fuerza para negociar en el futuro.
    • Cristina, por su parte, nunca tolerará que la provincia de Buenos Aires, donde está su electorado, pueda correr el riesgo de perder fondos a manos de la rica CABA.
    • Rodríguez Larreta también puede aprovechar el fallo de la Corte para crecer y buscar un rédito electoral. En la víspera de Navidad, Alberto se convirtió en Papá Noel y le regaló un escenario favorable a Larreta para iniciar su campaña presidencial. Algo parecido a lo que había ocurrido cuando el jefe de Gobierno logró que la Corte Suprema dispusiera la vuelta a clases y la reapertura de las aulas.

    Usted puede elegir la explicación que desee. Pero el conflicto que desató Alberto no es solo político, sino que generó una crisis institucional.

    En Perú, Castillo quiso cerrar el Congreso nacional y lo destituyeron. En la Argentina, Alberto Fernández y los gobernadores tomaron la decisión de desconocer a la Corte como cabeza del Poder Judicial, sabiendo que el Congreso no le hará juicio político.

    The axes of the political background:

    Alberto Fernández follows Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's line of confronting Justice, especially at a time when convictions and investigations against the Vice President and her people are piling up.

    Alberto, naked of political power and weakened, is taking advantage of this circumstance to surround himself with governors.

    The governors, for their part, want to make sure that next year they will receive funds to carry out public works financed by the nation and have a chance of winning elections.

    The provincial governors also calculate that the 2023 elections will be elusive for the FdT and use this attack to position themselves in a position of strength to negotiate in the future.

    Cristina, for her part, will never tolerate that the province of Buenos Aires, where her electorate is located, could run the risk of losing funds to the wealthy CABA.

    Rodríguez Larreta can also take advantage of the Court's ruling to grow and seek electoral gain. On Christmas Eve, Alberto became Father Christmas and gave Larreta a favourable scenario to start his presidential campaign. Something similar to what had happened when the head of government managed to get the Supreme Court to order the return to classes and the reopening of classrooms.

    You can choose whichever explanation you like. But the conflict unleashed by Alberto is not only political, it also generated an institutional crisis.


    In Peru, Castillo wanted to shut down the national Congress and was removed from office. In Argentina, Alberto Fernández and the governors took the decision to disregard the Court as the head of the judiciary, knowing that Congress would not impeach him.

    President Alberto Fernández and the Peronist governors who backed him in his rejection of the Supreme Court's ruling on co-participation for the City of Buenos Aires were criminally charged with the crimes of "sedition" and "treason".

    Let's see how far Patricia Bullrich can take this and whether these denouncements simply slide off their backs.

    The puppet president is now going to impeach the Supreme Court (juicio politico) but not all his provincial governors are supporting this crazy move. To impeach the highest court in the land?

    Impeachment

    Constitutional procedure carried out by the chambers of Congress - the Chamber of Deputies as the accusing body and the Chamber of Senators as the sentencing body - when the acts or omissions of the public servants mentioned in Article 110 of the Constitution are detrimental to the fundamental public interests due to serious violations of the Constitution, the Federal Laws that emanate from it, as well as the improper management of federal funds and resources.
