Judicial activity resumes today with the end of the summer fair and it is expected that the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation will begin to study issues that must be submitted to its decision, linked to the decree of necessity and urgency (DNU) 70 /2023, economic deregulation, from the government of Javier Milei .
Politics has the expectation placed on the declaratory action of certainty that the governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela , made at the end of December before the highest court to determine whether the DNU is constitutionally valid.
The focus is set there because it was the Court itself that, upon the presentation of La Rioja, made it known that the court “will study the issues submitted for decision after the recess corresponding to the next judicial fair in January” and it was given a hearing. to the Attorney General of the Nation to give an opinion on the competition.
Precisely, the acting attorney general Eduardo Casal ruled last Monday that it is up to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation to intervene in the lawsuit filed by the province of La Rioja to declare the unconstitutionality of the DNU.
“In my opinion, given the nature of the parties that must intervene in the lawsuit, the case corresponds to the original jurisdiction of the Court,” said Attorney Casal in the non-binding opinion to which Télam agreed.
Those who know the functioning of the highest court assure that the judges of the Court will study the case and its eventual jurisdiction without going beyond the times of politics: Congress is active and has its own mechanisms to reject the DNU if it considers that it is the right thing to do. that corresponds.
The highest court is also called to study the precautionary measure that suspended the effects of the labor chapter of the DNU given that it is an incident that has already gone through all previous instances and the path to the Court was enabled, according to the sources consulted.
It is likely that in the coming days the appeal of the National State against the ruling of the fair room of the National Chamber of Labor Appeals that last Tuesday declared the constitutional invalidity of all the articles of the labor reform included in the DNU.
Simultaneously, the presentations made by various actors against different articles of the DNU will begin to be studied, some of which were suspended for particular cases due to the issuance of different precautionary measures.
It is expected to know what will happen with the DNU article that repealed the land law and that was suspended by a precautionary measure issued by a federal judge following a presentation by the Malvinas La Plata Ex-Combatants Center (CECIM).
The article of the megadecree that enabled the entry of Sports Joint Stock Companies into the field of professional football.
A separate chapter is that of the precautionary measures presented against the increase in prepaid Health insurance fees: more than a dozen citizens affected by this increase managed to get the court to order the companies to which they were subscribed to charge them the previous fee again. to decree the deregulation of that market, until the substance of the matter is analyzed.
Each case will be processed before the corresponding jurisdiction following a decision by the federal judge of the Contentious Administrative jurisdiction Enrique Lavié Pico , who dismantled the collective process that his colleague Esteban Furnari had enabled before the judicial fair and ordered that each case be dealt with in his jurisdiction and respective jurisdiction.
With the restart of judicial activity, they will also begin to move complaints that were presented during the judicial fair, such as the one in which it was requested that the statements attributed by a news portal to President Milei be investigated in which it was stated that they had already been identified the “valijeros” from different economic sectors who would have lobbied to overturn articles of the so-called “bases” law.
Once the judicial fair has passed, it is expected that the start date of the oral trial for the attempted murder of former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner will also be known, which will be in the hands of the Federal Oral Court (TOF) 8, which will receive the requests during February. of evidence from each of the parties.
In addition, movements are expected in other files linked to the former president, although no longer as a complainant but as a defendant: on February 22, for example, the hearings linked to the appeals of the case known as “Roads” will begin in the Federal Court of Criminal Cassation. ” in which Fernández de Kirchner was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
It is likely that new developments will also be recorded in the file known as “Los Sauces-Hotesur”, in which the former president is investigated for alleged money laundering maneuvers: last year the case was reopened by the Cassation and is being brought to oral trial. ; although the defense demanded that the Supreme Court reverse that ruling.
