The initiative prevents people convicted in the second instance of corruption and crimes against sexual integrity from running for public office in the City. It is promoted by Graciela Ocaña.
The Constitutional Affairs Commission of the Buenos Aires Legislature advanced this Tuesday in an opinion on “Clean record”in line with the proposal promoted by the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation. The initiative prevents running for public office in the City to people convicted in the second instance of corruption and crimes against sexual integrity.
The opinion signed this afternoon was based on an initiative promoted by the legislator Graciela Ocaña, of the block Public Trustand had the support of the rest of the parties that attended the commission. Union for the Homeland and the Left Front They did not attend and, therefore, they did not accompany.

It is an initiative that was born from the civil society, and today it has the support of more than 500 thousand citizens,” he said Ocaña and added: “This time we have the opportunity to raise the bar, Let it be Law!”

“It’s the third time we’ve tried it because the Front of All systematically refuses to have this law, its young leaders have the opportunity to leave the past behind and not carry a backpack that does not belong to them,” he said and added: “They have to vote for the law so that no one convicted of corruption can be a candidate in the City of Buenos Aires”.
“We need 40 votes and we don’t have them because both the Frente de Todos and the left are opposed with arguments that are not supported politically or legally,” said the legislator and stressed that “it is not a project against anyone,” but rather that “it simply does not “We want those convicted of corruption to be sitting on a bench, whether in the Legislature or in a commune.”
The project establishes that they will not be able to present themselves as pre-candidates for head and vice-head of Government, City deputies or members of the community board who have been convicted of crimes against sexual integrity, against the public administration and fraud to the detriment of the public administration.
