Though in solitude, Kirchnerite lawmakers managed to get the necessary quorum at the Lower House to address three of the six bills submitted to Congress by CFK last week. Such projects, that aim to broaden public access to judicial information, however, have been less resisted by opposition blocs that coordinate efforts to stop the government’s move at the Senate.
The Lower House has started the debate on the publication of judicial officials’ sworn declarations, the access to the Judicial Power through public posts’ tender and the diffusion of Supreme Court’s rulings.
Leader of the Kirchnerite caucus in the Lower House Agustín Rossi accused the opposition of failing to “collaborate” in the debate he called “edifying”.
“The demand the debate but they don’t come”, he told reporters minutes and denied “express” bill-passage criticism. For Rossi, the projects have been discussed and cleared by the Lower House Commissions of Justice and Constitutional Affairs to the floor “as usual” accepting even modifications to the original drafts.
But it is the Senate where Victory Fronty MPs will find more resistance as most opposition parties have strongly questioned the government-fueled justice reform, especially the popular voting process to elect the members of the Council of Magistrates and the creation of three Cassation Courts. Injunctions’ bill, that has also flared political tensions, will be treated tomorrow.
