Crisis in the Argentine Judiciary

The political situation in Argentina worsens with the Criptogate crisis, affecting the nomination of judges in the Supreme Court. Javier Milei seeks support but faces internal opposition and economic challenges.


The power that does not abuse is not power. At the time, Mauricio Macri tried to exercise it poorly advised constitutionally and now faces the Cryptogate crisis. Apart from the local scandal with $Libra, the Argentine president is concerned about a support that previously favored him. On the other hand, Manuel García Mansilla, another candidate for the Court, didn't even manage to reach the Senate committee.

The possibility of a third candidate, Ricardo Rojas, is mentioned, as well as the eventuality of a woman collaborating with Caputo young in the presidential advisory. Since the operation started about ten months ago, it was believed that Lijo had the necessary votes to get through, but the situation is complicated.

Macri has expressed his desire to incorporate two new members to the Court before the ordinary sessions of Congress begin on March 1. However, he faces obstacles, as Milei's parliamentary nomination will not be supported by his political group or by other sectors, which may complicate his plan.

Amid criticism and pressure, Macri defends himself and attacks his opponents, raising doubts about his stability. The situation worsens with the suspension of Lijo's candidacy for the Court and the need to find a solution before the end of the month. The political landscape becomes uncertain and potential impacts in various areas are anticipated.

In this tense context, Macri seeks to maintain the support of his closest circle and avoid unwanted surprises. The appointment of new members to the Court faces challenges, while the opposition takes advantage of any opportunity to weaken the Government. Uncertainty reigns in the Argentine political scene, with numerous questions about the near future.
