Every lawyer in every corner of the country deserves recognition for their agendas, which have been postponed for a long time by the centralism of the capitals.
I have been touring the entire country, learning first-hand in each place I visit the urgent requirements that are not recognized at the national level. As a candidate to occupy a place in the Judiciary, I feel the obligation and commitment to represent those urgent needs that range from filling vacancies in the interior to making our weakened judicial system transparent.
Our role is that of a team of lawyers working to achieve true federal representation for lawyers from all provinces. It cannot be that the Judicial Council only works in the City of Buenos Aires, and that the entire political-media agenda revolves around Commodore Py.
The tools that democracy offers us are to be used in such a way that no one is excluded. That is why justice, through the Judiciary, must change many things. We have to move towards more federalism, bring the Council to all the regions of the republic, not just the big cities.
More federalism is also more transparency, something that today’s Argentine justice also requires. The functioning of the Council in general and the sessions and commissions in particular must be public, filmed and broadcast by all means; because we are talking about a vital organ for justice, and therefore, for the republic. When the people watch, they can also control.
That task, that of federalizing and making the operation of the Council of the Judiciary transparent, is unthinkable without the work of the thousands and thousands of defenders who visit the courts every day.
That is why we work for a genuine public control of the acts of justice, and along this path, the course is also for everyone to be held accountable for what they do and do not do in a crucial service for democracy.
In each place that I had to visit, we listened to the innumerable needs of the lawyers who go through the federal courts every day and who, with respect to their desire to improve the functioning of justice, see that the Council of the Judiciary and representativeness of them in this decision-making body is essential. In this sense, as a labor lawyer, I intend to be a lawyer who defends the interests of the legal profession. A lawyer for lawyers and lawyers.
We will continue to visit the entire country to become the voice of the needs of the interior. Part of beginning to rebuild a damaged judicial system is precisely federalization. We traveled to all the possible territories of the country to take with us those agendas that today are not heard.
We were in Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca, Córdoba, Mendoza and Rosario. Also in the City of Buenos Aires. We also toured the interior of the province of Buenos Aires: we passed through Mar del Plata, San Nicolás, La Plata, Avellaneda, Lanús, José C Paz, Quilmes, Morón, Moreno and General Rodríguez.
We believe that it is not possible to solve all the difficulties that justice faces if it does not open its doors to public control, transparency and especially federalization. The path is marked by the lawyers from the interior, who have been asking for a place of legitimate representation for a long time.
Today we have the possibility of reaching a first goal: that the legal profession has a voice and a vote in the Council of the Judiciary. The derivation of recognizing our profession is the first step to face a judicial reform that ends with centralism and faces a normalization process so that we can once again believe in justice. Without the advocacy heard, that process will be impossible to fulfill.
