Argentine Supreme Court Justice Eugenio Lorenzetti stated that former President Cristina Kirchner has never legally challenged the constitutionality of her perpetual disqualification from holding office within the Argentine judicial system. Lorenzetti’s comments came after a presentation at the Rotary Club, where he addressed Kirchner’s decision to appeal to the United Nations in an attempt to become eligible to run for candidacy. He noted the peculiarity of seeking international intervention when domestic legal avenues were not fully exhausted. The judge also reaffirmed his commitment to advancing a project aimed at reforming the process for selecting magistrates. This reform, he believes, is crucial for strengthening the independence and efficiency of the judiciary. Lorenzetti’s observations highlight a complex interplay between domestic legal challenges and international appeals in the context of Argentine politics. The debate surrounding Kirchner's eligibility continues to fuel political tensions.
