DAIA fought back at AMIA and announced that she will not drop the complaint

The delegation of the Israelite badociations of Argentina (DAIA) said yesterday that it "does not intend to give up" the trial that led the case, tried, against the former president Cristina Kirchner for the memorandum signed with Iran in 2012. The statement follows a letter sent by the Argentinean Mutual Association of Argentina (AMIA) asking him to withdraw from the judicial process.

On Thursday, the Jewish News Agency had published part of the content of the AMIA letter, which stated: "We believe that the continuation of this complaint is detrimental to the community in general and particularly affects the community. AMIA in its specific management It must be remembered that it was the firm opposition of the AMIA that made the pact of our country with the enemy of Israel never entered into force. "

The letter also stated that "by waiving this lawsuit against Senator and former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, in addition to repairing a serious error from the previous administration, the DAIA will begin to distance itself from A cause that is at the center of the famous crack that divides most Argentines, division that certainly does not represent us. "The demand comes at the beginning of the election year when, at the place that you will choose, the former president will undoubtedly be a fundamental player.

In the midst of strong contradictory statements, the DAIA released the statement yesterday confirming that it would continue as a plaintiff in the process that had led, at the investigation stage, to Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio. The same was opened by a lawsuit against Cristina Kirchner and former Foreign Minister Hector Timerman, who died in December, and former Secretary of the Presidency, Carlos Zannini, among others. This is not the cause that began with the denunciation of prosecutor Alberto Nisman, four days before appearing lifeless in his department. The same had been rejected by Judge Daniel Rafecas, a decision subsequently confirmed by the rest of the criminal courts.

In the statement, it was stated that the matter would be subject "to the examination of all the institutions and branches of the country affiliated with it". The president of the DAIA, Jorge Knoblovits, indicated during a dialogue with PERFIL that the issue would be debated in May at the ordinary badembly of the institution. "We are a broad and plural institution and the issue will be debated at the badembly, and until then, as indicated, we will maintain the complaint," he said.

Trial in absentia, a plan that also divides

In AMIA's letter to DAIA and subsequent statements, another contentious issue was raised: the possible adoption of a law on the trial in the absence of a trial without an accused who has a international stop.

In his statement yesterday, DAIA said that "with regard to the draft law on the judgment of absence, to which AMIA has expressed its opposition, DAIA is currently badyzing its implications and its scope".

In the letter known Thursday, the authorities of the mutual also asked the DAIA to give up to continue to promote this project.

Before the consultation of PROFILE, Agustín Zbar, president of the AMIA, explained: "If you have a missing sentence, you will get a red alert, but it would be the same thing as it already exists". In addition, he said that "the vast majority of the doctrine says that the trial in absentia is unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court has a case law that involves several times the extradition request of a person judged in absentia in another country ".
