The three members of the Supreme Court of Justice will participate in a public event on Monday to officially present the proposal they developed for the selection of judges. Although it is signed by only two of them, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti, since Horacio Rosatti endorsed it. Despite this discrepancy, the judges of the nation's highest court will appear together tomorrow to explain the Thursday's ruling, which includes a project that encourages the Council of the Magistracy to sanction a new regulation for the appointment of judges in the federal judiciary. The proposal, which will have the greatest impact on future members of the federal courts in Comodoro Py, seeks to ensure that the process respects, among other values, legality, equality, suitability, transparency, impartiality, and celerity, and avoids discretion. The text was signed by Rosenkrantz and Lorenzetti, and according to sources from the Judiciary, the presence of Rosatti, the court's president, suggests that the project is received as a position of the entire Court without internal cracks. As the Argentine News Agency was able to learn, the proposal that will be explained in detail tomorrow states that new judges should be elected by the Council of the Magistrature through advance competitions, before vacancies occur. There is also talk of a question bank with multiple choice and the reduction of discretion for councilors to decrease the chances of them promoting or demoting candidates in the merit order based on the personal interview.
