The NGO Will be Justice also demanded that the disqualification of the former president from holding public office be made effective.
The Federal Oral Court 2 rejected the request of the NGO Will be Justicewho claimed the arrest of former president Cristina Kirchnerafter the ratification of the sentence of six years in prison and disqualification from holding public office in the road cause. The organization, which had asked to enter the file as amicus curiae, also sought that the court that carried out the oral trial effectuate the disqualification from holding public office, which was also flatly rejected.
The judicial setback occurs after the Clean Record project promoted by the PRO lost parliamentary status, which would have blocked a candidacy by Cristina Kirchner, as it was convicted in the second instance.
With harsh arguments, TOF 2 denied the incorporation as a friend of the court of the NGO linked to the PRO by stating that it does not comply with the requirements established by the regulation. It establishes that ““[e]The Friend of the Court does not have the character of a party nor can it assume any of the procedural rights that correspond to them”, limiting its actions to the presentation of arguments of relevance for the discussion of a specific legal conflict.
The judges Andrés Basso, Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu and Jorge Gorini they warned that It will be Justice He was never part of the process and does not meet the requirements established by law, which is why he cannot be a friend of the court, much less request Cristina’s arrest as if she were an accusing party in the case.
“It is quickly noted that the petition, due to the procedural moment in which it is presented, the absence of current controversy in the instance and the nature of the requested measures – clearly stimulating criminal action – more typical and exclusive of the accusing parties , exceeds the objectives within its reach based on the action assigned in the capacity of third party that is invoked,” expressed the resolution signed this Wednesday.
Besides, TOF2 warns that the NGO is not a disinterested third party -as required by the amicus curiae institution- but that one of its members was vice president and then a member of the Financial Information Unit between 2016 and 2020, an organization that was a plaintiff in the process. It is about Maria Eugenia Talericowho assumed that position during the government of Mauricio Macri and today is part of Will Justice.
The NGO had presented itself in Commodore Py after the ratification by the Cassation Chamber of all the convictions in the case that investigated the direction of public works in the province of Santa Cruz. Among other things, he asked that Cristina’s detention be evaluated, the confiscation of her assets and the application of perpetual disqualification from holding public office, that is, that she could not be a candidate in the next elections.
The second instance ruling will be appealed by all parties, who will seek to reach the Court. The Chamber IV of Cassation agreed to the extension of the deadlines for presentations, which must be entered as a deadline of February 12.
