Following yesterday’s silent march to honour late AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman, Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich said that rallies should be organized to call for the Judiciary to be “autonomous and independent from corporations.”
“If the Judiciary has the largest budget in history, if (officials) do not pay income taxes, if they have 45 vacations days, and if they are permeable to corporate interests, the demonstration should be held so that the Judiciary is, effectively, autonomous and independent from corporations, so that no prosecutor is an employee of corporations, so that no judge rules in favour of corporate interests and is willing to investigate capital flights, economic crimes that hurt the Republic,” Capitanich stated in his daily press conference at the government house.
In tune with Aníbal Fernández’s remarks, Capitanich said that “behind the silence, the demonstration was an opposition rally.” He pointed out that “there are always political interests behind this demonstrations.”
“Prosecutors and judges have the truth in their hands (because) they are responsible for solving the attacks on the Israeli Embassy and AMIA Jewish centre,” the chief of ministers added. He said that the government and Argentinians “want to know the truth” about both crimes. “The world wants to know who were the perpetrators of this hideous crimes,” he added.
