Among the possible candidates for the Supreme Court of Justice, judges Ricardo Rojas and Ricardo RamÃrez Calvo stand out, as well as constitutionalists Alberto Bianchi, a partner of prosecutor Santiago Casto Videla, and lawyer Carlos Laplacette. Both the president and the deputy minister of Justice, Sebastián Amerio, are analyzing the options and have not made a final decision.
Amid a series of names being considered for the position, there is a possibility of insisting on the appointment of Lijo by decree or appointing a new candidate to the Supreme Court. Karina Milei, Luis Caputo, and Manuel Adorni met with Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein to discuss this issue in the presence of the president, who is traveling in the United States to participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and meet with Elon Musk and Kristalina Georgieva, head of the International Monetary Fund.
A close advisor to the president will also travel to the United States to organize an upcoming summit in Argentina. Although it was planned for him to participate in an event, he will ultimately maintain a low profile. This advisor was recently at the center of controversy for interrupting the president during an interview and advising him in private to modify a response.
Regarding the Supreme Court, there is an urgent need to resolve its situation following the failure of the session in the Senate. There is a possibility of addressing the submission of judge Ariel Lijo on Friday or moving forward with appointments by decree. This decision is complex due to the fact that committee appointments expire at the end of the next Legislature.
