[...] Cristina finally graced the tribunal with her presence, going on a four-hour rant that included thinly-veiled threats against the sitting judges and several other members of the federal justice system that operates out of Comodoro Py courthouse. In a violent and defiant tone, she accused the tribunal of having already decided her fate, calling it a “lawfare court” that responded to the Macri administration’s necessity of framing Néstor Kirchner as nothing more than a thief in order to impose neoliberal economic policies that have led to the return of the International Monetary Fund. “I’ve been acquitted by history, and history will condemn you,” a frantic Cristina screamed as she pointed her index finger at the judges, to the roar of her followers.
“The Judiciary that Macri used to persecute Cristina will go after him,” Fernández said about the case, revealing what their relationship will be with the federal justice. Fernández de Kirchner has already insulted the tribunal and told them she does not care about the final outcome of the trial against her, while Alberto indicated that the courts will turn against Macri and his officials. The same corrupt justice system that was subservient to the Kirchners during their glory days, and which vehemently went after Kirchnerite corruption under Macri, will most probably favour Cristina once she assumes the Vice-Presidency. Already several judges have ruled in their favour, granting ‘K’ businessmen like Cristobal López the benefit of home arrest, while overturning several rulings in key corruption cases. Obviously, Mrs. Fernández de Kirchner won’t complain when the same judges become obedient and diligently target Macri and his ministers in the years to come.
This is another piece on the account, always from the BA Times. I don't really understand how is it possible to hold such behavior on a court of law and how this could be tolerated. I guess it wouldn't work the same if it was one of us...
