At the request of the deputies of Santa Fe socialism, Esteban Paulon and Monica Fein, the senator Martin Lousteau, president of the Commission, ordered to call a session for January 8 at 16 hours to discuss the behavior of Kravetz, whom the Government announced as future civil servant of the Intelligence agency.
“Although the designation has not yet been published in it Official Gazette, the seriousness of the images disseminated and the existence of a criminal case in progress, are “a priori” sufficient to compromise their suitability and integrity, in accordance with the democratic standards that should be demanded of the highest authorities in such a sensitive area that concentrates very high levels of power,” the deputies expressed.
Given this, they required “the ex officio intervention by the “Permanent Bicameral Commission for the Supervision of Intelligence Agencies and Activities” to “take full knowledge of the investigated facts in the framework of the case for abuse of authority filed before the Criminal, Misdemeanor and Misdemeanor Prosecutor’s Office No. 39 of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires” due to the conduct of Diego Kravetz.
Congress: Bicameral of Intelligence will analyze the situation of Diego Kravetz
Kravetz served as Secretary of Security for the City Government until December 17, when his departure was announced. The same day, in a surprising way for the Buenos Aires authorities, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, announced the arrival of the former official to the National intelligence.
At that time, Adorni specified that The former police chief of the city of Buenos Aires will be “in charge of coordinating the operations of the four intelligence agencies” and will report “directly to the Secretary of State Intelligence.” Days later, images of Kravetz were revealed in which he allegedly hit a teenager, which is why a case was opened against him in court.
“The temperament that we met in the latest viral videos of Diego Kravetz, Hitting a detained person makes us doubt his integrity to make decisions,” he said. Paulon and added that “the designation challenges us and we need to know their powers, what their specific position will be because it is a sensitive decision-making position for all Argentines.”
The deputies pointed out that “the current Kravetz situation “in the shadows”” – it is not clear if he is already exercising responsibilities as a second authority in a hierarchy that does not exist in the SIDE organizational chart – it is extremely worrying because he would have tools at his disposal that would allow to hinder any type of investigation“.
Furthermore, in defense of the convening of the Bicameral session, the Santa Fe legislators argued that the participation of the Congress of the Nation “as the political control body of the intelligence system is the main institutional mechanism to prevent abuses of powerillegal activities and the application of system resources towards purposes not permitted by law”.
For that reason They asked “that the necessary means be arbitrated” to guarantee that those who make up the agencies of the National Intelligence System “have high standards of suitability and a transparent track recordof adherence to democratic norms and respect for human rights”, something they consider as “required attributes to inspire confidence in citizens.”
