Manuel García-Mansilla was appointed as a new member of the Supreme Court, generating great controversy given that his tenure in the position could end soon. This appointment could result in a Court influenced by the current government, with other figures such as ministers, like Cascini, Chelo Delgado, or Chicho Serna*. The manner in which the appointment was carried out, avoiding the Senate, has sparked a debate about the legitimacy of this action.
A notable quote reveals: "As Boca is finally the half plus one and the polls could validate it, the selection of judges is leaning towards the voters' wishes more than the agreement of the legislators." Additionally, there are speculations about the election of judges based on electoral preferences rather than legislative consensus.
García-Mansilla has been described as someone who acts quickly, even going to swear in without prior notice to his family. Questions arise about his future in the Court, given that an ascending colleague ended up voting against him. His nomination, which has a set deadline until the end of November, has generated confusion and discussion in the legal field.
The Senate may reject García-Mansilla's appointment this week, despite him already having sworn in. The possibility of appeals to the Supreme Court's decisions being raised for lack of constitutionality has caused institutional agitation. Uncertainty surrounds the nomination and endorsement process of candidates, with the participation of different political actors in this scenario.
Amidst this landscape, other alternatives are also raised, such as the possibility that the decision may lean towards another candidate, Ariel Lijo. The power struggle between the Government and the Senate has left various actors in an uncertain situation, while a resolution is awaited. The influence of different political figures and the lack of consensus mark this conflict situation surrounding the appointments in the Supreme Court.
