The plot of Comodoro Py, which is mainly related to Macrism, has just appeared in an unpublished preview: even on the cover of a slave morning newspaper it was published Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner She will be sentenced to six years in prison in the so-called Roads case. The judge Gustavo Hornosvisitor to Mauricio Macri in the Casa Rosada and twice accused of sexual violence and even rape, already advanced his vote in August: he decided to increase the sentence to 12 years, maintaining that in the Santa Cruz Road Works CFK was the leader of an illegal society. From what was released this weekend, Mariano Borinsky – another Macri visitor in Olivos and Casa Rosada – and Diego Barroetaveñaa staunch member of the Macrista judiciary at the moment, to confirm the six years in prison handed down at the end of the oral trial. The former president’s lawyer presented several briefs this Monday, one showing that the malicious leak coincides with the president’s violent attacks. Javier Miley against Cristina and, in addition, the mandatory confidentiality of the deliberations of the judges was violated, and, otherwise, it is likely to cancel the ruling. In particular, The lawyer claims that there is undue interference from political and media sectors.
Cristina’s conviction
From a legal perspective, Cristina would be in the same position as Carlos Menem in the case of arms smuggling to Croatia and Ecuador. Strangely, in that file the chambermaid Borinsky was the prosecutor throughout the whole process. In that file, The Court reversed the decision and Menem completed liberation. In a certain sense, there is also some similarity to what happened there Brazil dog Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva: He was prosecuted and imprisoned, but was later acquitted by the supreme court.
Cristina’s guardian is said to be, Carlos Alberto Beraldipresents the extraordinary appeal until the case reaches the Supreme Court and in the highest court the times are invisible. Last week, The Court confirmed the sentences of Enrique Matov and Rubén Santos for the December 2001 repression.. The trial only ended in 2016, the conviction was in Cassation in 2020 and the highest court took four years to confirm it. Not less than 23 years in total. In July 2024, the courts confirmed the life sentence Nahir Galarzawho killed Fernando Pastorizzo in 2017. It took seven years, but the process was faster because there was a person in prison, Nahir.
Almost never seen
The leaks in Comodoro Py’s rule are not unusual, but they always followed formulas used by the terms: “The magistrates will decide,” “everything is indicate the possibility of a conviction. ” It tends to happen more when the person who has to decide is a single judge, rather than a collegial court of three judges. What happened now – they admit in Comodoro Py – is unique: The votes of the three judges are expected, without hesitation, without condition, two to confirm the sentence of six years in prison, one to increase it to 12 years.
In the Retiro building they insist that the times are normal and that everything now happens according to the traditional deadlines of the Cassation: there is nothing political, they saying.
Fair time
Cristina and her lawyer, Beraldi, don’t seem to think alike. On this same Monday, the lawyer presented a summary denying political and media interference.
The lawyer points out two facts:
- “On Saturday, at the launch of La Libertad Avanza (LLA), the president Javier Miley “He urged the magistrates to move forward and confirm our assistant’s unjust sentence.”
- “On Sunday, the newspaper The Nation He said that the sentence will be confirmed within this week, describing each vote written by the judges. It is even mentioned that one of the judges changed his criteria.”
“All this ends,” says Beraldi, “to a very serious offense of the provisions of Article 396 of the Code of Procedure, which provides that the deliberations of the judges will be secret, under penalty of neutrality.”
The one behind the crime
Although it goes without saying, the new attack against CFK has a set of factors as background:
- Javier Milei’s government is collapsing and beginning to lose the support of even his own voters, including part of what was a hard heart.
- The crisis is developing in all areas. A strong university march is expected this week. The increase in rates puts almost the entire population in serious trouble to make ends meet.
- All this explains that Milei wanted to hold the event on Saturday in the Province of Buenos Aires, in La Plata, but the plan to fail destroyed him. He finished the call for Parque Lezama, with little tuning. To make matters worse, the failures and weaknesses led to increasingly violent speeches.
- Macrismo has many problems to take advantage of the opportunity. A good part of their voters moved to the LLA, which increasingly ceases to be supported by young, poor men, and the PRO is being eaten up by the voters with better purchasing power, older, but above all anti-Peronist.
- Cristina, after the real and psychological blow that the 2022 assassination attempt meant, returned to the public scene with different documents and appearances. In addition there was a strong back and forward directly by Milei.
This complete picture of the situation put the task force based in Comodoro Py, always aligned with Macrism and with the media and business powers.
An empty reason
Cassation’s criticism of the Santa Cruz routes can only be explained from politics. This accountant followed the hearings over three and a half years, from May 2019 to December 2022. During the process, almost no witness mentioned Cristina, not a single email or conversation was found in the she gave no information. The works were designed, offered, implemented and controlled in Santa Cruz and, as was logical, even the Minister of Planning, Julio De Vidoacquitted, simply because he did not intervene or sign any resolution.
The judges spoke of excessive prices in three of the five works done, but the experts who defended that position in the trial failed miserably.
Messages were used from the cell phone of the former Secretary of Public Works, Jose López, the one who threw the nine million dollars at the convent of General Rodríguez. No communication was recorded with CFK and, on the other hand, many close conversations between businessmen López and Macri were recorded. Evidence of a payment to López’s cell phone was alleged Lazaro Baez at the end of CFK term. The payments were never made.
What is coming
According to the newspapers associated with Macrismo, the decision will come out this week, to reduce the march of university students. It seems all too clear.
Of course, the decision is not final. Beraldi presents an extraordinary appeal that, everything appears, the Cassation passes. That is to say, it will suspend the effect until the Court makes a decision. At the same time, Cristina can be a candidate, if she wants, as happened with Carlos Menem when he ran for General La Rioja. At that time, the ruling was confirmed by Cassation in the Armas case. It is possible that libertarians, macristas and other forces will try to block CFK through a so-called clean record law in Congress. But that will be another battle.
