The national government submitted this morning an extraordinary recourse before the Federal Civil and Commercial Court against the extension of the Clarín Group’s injunction to comply with the Media Law, granted by the Civil and Commercial Court N° 1.
The new appeal was submitted by the Cabinet Chief’s office in another attempt to skip court N°1 and make the Federal Civil and Commercial Court take the case directly to the Supreme Court, even though the latter unanimously dismissed the government’s recourse to the legal mechanism called “per saltum” yesterday.
Furthermore, the government will seek to impeach the judges of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court for ruling on the injunction extension, judicial sources told Ambito Financiero that Susana Najurieta will be denounced before Thursday in the hope of her revoking.
Upper House Constitutional Affairs Committee chairman Senator Marcelo Fuentes (Victory Front— Neuquén) asserted that even though the decision to start an impeachment trial has already “been taken,” they have to “analyze” whether to charge all three members of the Civil and Commercial Court or only Najurieta.
