'Argentina needs no militant judges'
Opposition figure Sergio Massa questioned the nomination of Roberto Carlés who could become Argentina''s youngest member of the Supreme Court if the Senate passes his designation.
The head of the Renewal Front (RF) Sergio Massa has questioned the nomination of Roberto Carlés to succeed Eugenio Zaffaroni at Argentina’s maximum tribunal saying the country needs no “militant judges.”
“The designation of (Roberto) Carlés is, first of all, nothing but a smoke bomb for the government to cover the underlying problem: a prosecutor dared to investigate, ended up dead and the truth is not coming up. A judge of the (Supreme) Court must be a synonym of balance, of respect to the Constitution and not of activism or of taking a position for a political faction,” the pre-candidate to the presidency said in a statement released today.
According to Massa, the Cristina Fernández de Kirchner administration is nominating a pro-government “activist” to take a seat in the Supreme Court stopping the country from gaining “judicial independence.”
“Argentina needs judicial independence which the Argentina that is coming is going to gave, and not judges that are activists. A representative of the abolitionist Criminal Code of (Raúl) Zaffaroni is being elected when the Argentine society has already said no to a code that lowers sentences and eliminates reoccurrence. Argentina needs independent and firm judges in the fight against crime, we don’t want the idea of keeping to benefit criminals to be installed in the Supreme Court of the Nation,” the RF head stated vowing to request the Radical Party to be the political group in charge of nominating Zaffaroni’s successor.
