Supreme Court Judge Raúl Zaffaroni defended the legislative debate over the judicial reform and called opposition not to hinder tomorrow’s voting at Congress. “If I don’t like a bill, I can say why it is not constitutional and suggest solutions,” he warned.
“Each one of us has the right to act anyhow showing that position through their vote; but the correct thing to do is to say why a project I don’t like is not constitutional and propose solutions,” Zaffaroni told a local radio station as he considered the problem of the judiciary system exists because “as every human piece of work it has defects.”
Opposition representatives such as Civic Coalition MP Elisa Carrió have called to stop the debate at the Lower House tomorrow.
Joined by civil lawyers, unions, NGO’s and intellectuals, opposition MPs will be settling today a protest tent in front of the Congress challenging the government’s project to “democratize” Argentina’s judiciary system that they warn only aims at «controlling» judges.
