The Minister of the Interior, Edward ‘Wado’ of Petercataloged this Tuesday, May 9, as “irresponsible” the decision of the Supreme Court to suspend the elections scheduled for next Sunday in the provinces of Tucumán and San Juanby ensuring that the highest court “He arrogates a competence that he does not have”.
As expressed in an official message, the official maintained that he should not interfere because “these are provincial parties questioning provincial regulations that must be resolved by the provincial courts.”
“We are facing a virtual federal intervention of two provinces”DePedro warned.
The head of the Interior portfolio expressed it in a message delivered from Casa Rosada together with the Secretary for Political Affairs of the Interior, Patricia García Blanco.
“Today, three Supreme Court judges suspended the elections in San Juan and Tucumán 72 hours before the closure. An election that is in the final stretch: with the printed ballots, the political forces have already presented and debated their proposals and with the citizens ready to have a peaceful democratic day“, he indicated.
Suspension of elections in San Juan and Tucumán: for the government it is a “clear interference in the democratic process”
Wado de Pedro affirmed that “there is no democracy possible with a delegitimized Court”
The Minister of the Interior stated: “In the face of a serious institutional event like this, it is important that we remember what our Constitution says: the Argentine Nation is a federal republic. The provinces maintain their autonomy and, therefore, decide on their electoral system, their way of voting, the date and their candidates“.
“This irresponsible decision of the Court assumes a competence that it does not have: it is regarding provincial parties questioning provincial regulations that must be resolved by the provincial courts. We are facing a virtual federal intervention of two provinces,” the national official stressed.
In addition, he recalled that it is “a Court made up of two judges who agreed to be appointed by decree of former President Macri, violating our laws, a Court that endorsed the persecution once morest Vice President Cristina Kirchner.”
“There is no democracy possible with a delegitimized Court. Argentina needs an independent, transparent Court at the service of society, not concentrated powersDePedro emphasized.
And he added: “Next Sunday the 14th there are 5 elections in which the media narrative will collide with the forcefulness of the polls. They already outlawed Cristina and this is an attempt to outlaw the vote of Tucumanos, Tucumanas, Sanjuaninos and Sanjuaninas. It is not a decision once morest one candidate or another: it is restricting the right of citizens to choose and be elected”.
