February is packed with judicial activity in Argentina, with Alberto Fernández in the spotlight. The former president must appear in the Comodoro Py courts to be questioned in a domestic violence case involving Fabiola Yañez, his ex-partner and former first lady. It is estimated that there will not be a swift resolution due to the time these cases take and the possibility of Yañez running in the upcoming elections.
Additionally, it is expected that the Association of Judges and Officials of the National Justice will present a complaint before the Court regarding the suspension of a ruling. In the judicial field, summons for questioning are announced for various political figures such as Mario Firmenich and Fabián “Pepín” Rodríguez Simón. The oral trial for the corruption notebook case involving Cristina Kirchner and former officials of her government is also anticipated to begin.
On the other hand, the intention of the cassation prosecutor to appeal for an additional conviction for illicit association against Mario Villar is highlighted. All of this could influence the political landscape leading up to the 2025 elections. Cristina Kirchner will also face a crucial month, including a deadline to file an appeal against a conviction upheld by the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation.
In the realm of judicial activity, a quiet recess contrasts with the resumption of activities this Monday. A decision is expected regarding nominations for vacancies in the highest court, in a context where Cristina Kirchner's participation is relevant for the appointments. The hearing in the trial against those accused of trying to assassinate a judge will resume this month, after several postponements last year.
