Deputy Hernan Lombardi described as a “show” the request of impeachment powered by Alberto Fernandez once morest the Supreme Court and Fernando “el Chino” Navarro, a national official, defended the initiative. “The president generates this conflict to please the ‘Big Sister’ who watches over everything,” the congressman ironized regarding Cristina Kirchner.
The initiative that will be debated in the Political Judgment Commission along with other similar requests sets the pace of national politics, especially following Together for Change announced the suspension of any quorum to ruling party laws if it does not withdraw the complaint.
Hernán Lombardi: “In 2001 there was a coup”
On the night of this Wednesday, January 11, Lombardi agreed that it is a legal route, but he questioned it. “The request for impeachment in this country goes directly to the commission. If it went straight to the precinct, it would be over quickly because they don’t have the majority. but it’s a show. We believe that it is not possible to put on a show in the last year of a president’s government and when there is a great economic crisis. The President is putting on a show”, he assured.
The Secretary for Relations with Civil Society and Community Development of the Chief of Staff showed the other side of the debate and stated: “The political trial is a constitutional mechanism, it is not an attack on democracy, nor a blow to the institutions.”
Then he gave as an example the request of a member of Together for Change once morest a minister of the Court. “When Elisa Carrió asks for a trial once morest Ricardo Lorenzetti, does she go once morest democracy? Political trials are measured with a different yardstick,” Navarro complained.

Request for judgment to the Court and co-participation
In dialogue with Edgardo Alfano in The Two Vocals for TN, Navarro accused the Supreme Court of taking a partisan stance in the co-participation ruling. In that case, the magistrates decided to return funds to the City of Buenos Aires that the Nation had taken from it in the pandemic. They had been increased by Mauricio Macri in favor of Horacio Rodriguez Larreta in 2017.
“The sentences are not debatable, they are to be complied with,” Lombardi replied. After the court ruling, Alberto Fernández along with numerous governors had stated that they would not abide by it. Later he accepted it.
“Although it was not the intention, the ruling is in favor. It has to fail for the national interests. When it’s fair it annoys everyone. And since it is not, that is why (Horacio Rodríguez) Larreta celebrates, ”said Navarro. “The members of the Court are men of power, they understand what is at stake,” he added.

What Lombardi said regarding Cristina Kirchner
For the cambiemite deputy, the President is carrying out this request to win the endorsement of Cristina Kirchner. “The president generates this conflict to please the” Big Sister “who watches over everything, although despite that, she is not enough, because she continues to criticize him,” he said.
“We are discussing the meaning and opportunity of the President’s measure of wanting to impeach the Court, when the agenda of the Argentines is another. We believe that the President should dedicate himself to governing this last year that he has left. It has been a failed government”, he stoned.
Then he returned to the argument that the trial once morest Carlos Rosenkrantz, Carlos Maqueda, Horacio Rosatti and Ricardo Lorenzetti was unfeasible. “When the project goes to the venue, two thirds of the votes are required to be able to prove it. They don’t even have half. This strains the institutional body of the Republic. What is it done for?” He said. “I ask the President to withdraw the project, which is nothing more than a show. It has no chance of being carried forward”, Lombardi closed.
