Argentina Government Sends Judicial Nominations to Senate

The Argentine government today sent the first batch of 62 candidate nominations to the Senate to fill over 300 vacant judicial positions across the country, particularly in the Federal Capital. This move, after more than two years of paralysis, is seen as a nod to the judicial family. Among the nominees is Emilio Rosatti, son of the Supreme Court President Horacio Rosatti, for a position in a federal trial court in Santa Fe. The list also includes María Julia Sosa, secretary to Judge Julián Ercolini, who handled high-profile cases involving former President Cristina Kirchner. The government aims to 'step on the accelerator' to meet expectations and resolve the issue quickly. A recent reform requires that nominations be published for at least 15 days before public hearings, on the Senate's website, social media, and official bulletin.
