A group of former judges and lawyers linked to Kirchnerism and the Government They filed for impeachment on Wednesday against members of the Court Carlos Rosenkrantz, Ricardo Lorenzetti, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Horacio Rosatti for the judgment in which they declared unconstitutional the DNU of President Alberto Fernández who had banned face-to-face classes in the city of Buenos Aires.

It is “due to a poor performance of their functions and to their possible participation in the crimes of homicide, injury, spread of dangerous and contagious diseases, violation of the duties of a public official and procrastinating, ”indicates the request.

The request that entered the Chamber of Deputies was drafted by the former judges Raul Zaffaroni and Lucila Larrandart, the legal adviser of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Eduardo Barcesat and the former chambermaid Carlos Rozanski, among others. Zaffaroni is, until now, a member of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and informal advisor to Vice-President Cristina Kirchner.

Before making the request, Zaffaroni wondered in statements to K media “who is responsible for the deaths these days.” I think the measure of the Court is responsible for these deaths“.

“There may be manslaughter in court for the dead these days … There was abuse of power by the Supreme Court and if there is proven causation, there are injuries with perfectly valid arguments, ”added lawyer K.

The game it’s more media what another thing. Launch a political trial of the members of the Court two-thirds vote of Congress is required. The Frente de Todos has a majority in the Senate, but not two-thirds of the votes, and in the deputies it does not have its own quorum.

And he cites statistics released by the national government.

According to the judgment of the Court “lack of sufficient justification to exercise a health competence which ends in suspending the modality of face-to-face teaching in the City, it reveals that, in this case, the federal State instead of exercising its own attribution has invaded one which is foreign to it ”.

Zaffaroni’s request stated that “the Court did not demand the opinion of any expert in the field, when the country has distinguished professionals and researchers and could even have requested it from the international authorities or from the WHO itself or from the Pan American Bureau of Health and its own medical corps – legal, of an old and proven technique. capacity ”.

“The Supreme Court has solved an epidemiological problem in the midst of a pandemic at a time of contagion epidemic, with a daily toll of around thirty thousand people infected and an average of five hundred deaths and sent back to an urban area whose system of Health has practically collapsed as the attention span in intensive care is practically depleted, ”the presentation added.

Then he emphasizes that “a the fatal victims we must add daily because of the pandemic of people affected by other ailments unrelated to it, who are deprived of care due to the collapse, who can neither be operated nor hospitalized ”. This week, Covid deaths in Argentina topped 75,000 people.

“It is indisputable that in the event that it is a power which, constitutionally, cor corresponds to the national executive. The convenience or otherwise of the measure adopted by the executive in the exercise of this administrative power of the health police is not a question which can be judged by the judges, because it has always been considered to be non-judicial political issues, judges must refrain from intervening“, He assured.
