Resignation of judges and end to aggression against Argentinian vice president is requested

Havana, March 31 (RHC) Hundreds of protesters gathered this Friday near the Palacio de Tribunales in Buenos Aires to demand the resignation of the members of the Supreme Court and the end of the judicial persecution of Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Fernández.

Under the slogan Democracy without judicial mafia, members of social, union and political organizations accompanied Father Francisco Olveira, a member of the Group of Priests in Option for the Poor, on his seventh and last day of fasting to denounce the poor performance of judges and the attempts to proscribe the also head of the Senate.

“From now on, this is where our marches must end because today, we do not have the military party of the dictatorship, but we do have the judicial one”, Oliveira pointed out. “The members of the Court do not have the moral or ethical authority to be in charge of the Justice of our country”.

Among the groups represented were the Central de Trabajadores de Argentina, La Cámpora, La Patria es el Otro, Nuevo Encuentro, Peronismo militante, Identidad and Frente Grande.

During the previous days, the participants highlighted the importance of celebrating 40 years of democracy and remembered former president Néstor Kirchner (1950-2010) and the former president of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Association, Hebe de Bonafini (1928-2022).

On December 6, 2022, the Federal Oral Court 2 sentenced Fernández to six years in prison and his perpetual disqualification from holding public office for alleged irregularities in the awarding of 51 works between 2003-2015, facts that the vice president rejected and denied during three years of hearings.

The former president denounced the existence of a mafia, a parallel State and a judicial party that do not tolerate someone doing the opposite of what they say, and govern and decide outside of all estates. (Source: Prensa Latina)
