Alberto Fernández criticizes the Supreme Court

Focusing on the ruling of the Court for the co-participation of the City of Buenos Aires, Alberto Fernandez questioned this Thursday the authorities of the Judiciary: “The meddling of Justice in budget execution is definitely inadmissible. They are political issues, not justiciable. It causes severe damage to the public accounts of the national state.”

From the President’s perspective, the ruling in question shows “what is the block of traditional interests that seek to consolidate the enormous asymmetries that still exist in Argentina.”

“I am proudly from Buenos Aires, but I cannot be indifferent when seeing the asymmetries that separate this wonderful City from corners of the Homeland where the dreams of Argentine men and women who seem doomed to oblivion are postponed,” said the President.
