In Mendoza, 56 additional judges and prosecutors must pay profits – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

The Supreme Court of Justice overruled a precautionary measure and ordered that judges and prosecutors appointed from January 2017 pay income tax. In Mendoza, the measure will concern 86 magistrates, including judges, civil servants and tax officials, who must pay the tax, whether or not they come from the judicial career.

Until October, only six judges paid the disputed tax in the province: the Minister of the Court, Dalmiro Garay, the civil judge of the second badociated management court, Marcela Ruiz Díaz and the Chamber of the Chamber of Labor, César Rumbo, who does not employ career of the judiciary. They also include Judge Ana Ponte, Pedro Urquizu and Juan Manuel Piedecasas. Now these 40 magistrates will be added.

They must also pay taxes in the public prosecution. In that case, 16 officials will be reached, including prosecutors and equals. At the moment, lawyer Alejandro Gullé is not targeted by the measure, although his luck may change if an agreement is reached at the national level.

Still in its resolution, the Supreme Court He understood that every promotion of the judicial career would count as a new appointment and give rise to remuneration, so that the number of taxpayers would increase in the province.

Equalized to magistrates

As mentioned above, the novelty is that in addition to the judges appointed in 2017, the interviewed officials appointed to administrative positions of the hierarchy in the judiciary are reached. They have the same burden as a judge, but they perform minor functions – as administrative tasks or rapporteurs – which explains the situation that triggered several complaints at the courthouse.

For example, a case of equalization is that of the Administrator of the Court, Carlos Quiroga Nanclares, whose net salary well exceeds 100,000 pesos and whose appointment has also been controversial, given that he is a parent of the highest court president, Jorge Nanclares. Also in 2017, it was agreed that the controversy was raised when they were appointed rapporteurs to the judicial secretaries to a dozen people.

This resolution of the Supreme Court is well regarded by the provincial executive. Since its inception, the governor Alfredo Cornejo complained of the naming "finger" likened to magistrates, some even charging higher wages than the same agent, which led him to insist on the law of salary ceilings.

On the other hand, this point of designations was to be addressed in Juan Carlos Jaliff's frustrated project of judicial reform, which required the Court to publish all agreed agreements on promotions and salary improvements to staff.

At the beginning of the year, Cornejo criticized the use of judges' credit to match civil servants with administrative tasks. As a result, the court becomes vacant because it does not have the credit to make the appointment. In fact, Cornejo said that this attitude is worthy of a political trial.
