President of the Supreme Court of Justice, Ricardo Lorenzetti confirmed in an official communiqué today that he has no plans to put himself forward as a candidate for president, assuring that he will continue to work as a judge.
“In the ministers’ agreement reached on Tuesday, December 11th, I have expressed that I will continue in my position as judge, and rule out that I have any plans to put myself forward for any political roles,” reads the communiqué published by the Centre for Judicial Information.
Yesterday, pro-government lawmaker Carlos Kunkel said that if Lorenzetti had plans to apply for presidential candidacy, he should resign from his post at the Supreme Court first.
