“A condemnation full of irregularities, issued by three people, among four walls, who arrogate the power to decide who can and who will not be a candidate in Argentina.” Thus, the project of resolution that was presented this Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies synthesized. Signed by Nicolás del Caño, Christian Castillo and Alejandro Vilca, the text repudiates the ruling of the Supreme Court that left the sentence to six years in prison and perpetual disqualification against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner firm, and defines it as an act of political proscription.
A complaint for proscription
Far from a personalist defense, the project argues that the “vicious” failure does not seek to combat corruption, but to build a political regime more subordinate to economic power, the Argentine Business Association (AEA) and financial capital. While the causes of corruption linked to the Macri group remain unpunished, the failure against CFK, according to the FIT, aims to exclude the opposition figure from the electoral game and those who feel represented by it.
The complaint includes a direct signaling to the double judicial rod: “It is not justice, but about political discipline,” they affirm, and warn that the antecedent can become against any political space that questions the current economic direction.
A broader regime of repression
The project is not limited to the conviction against Fernández de Kirchner. He frames it in a scenario of growing institutional authoritarianism, which includes repression of social protests of December 20, 2023 and February 2024, arrests to protesters, harassment to journalists, aggression against retirees, the murders of precarious workers in Salta and Jujuy, by federal forces, and the systematic limitation of freedom by decree.
Among others, the case of Matías Aufieri, a lawyer of the CEPRODH who lost an eye for police repression, as well as the judicial persecution of social movements with imputations for “terrorism” is mentioned. According to legislators, CFK condemnation is part of this process and comes to legitimize the progress of a new antidemocratic regime sustained by the government of Javier Milei.
Clean file, hidden lake and the judges of power
Criticism is extended to the structural role of the Judiciary. The project mentions the irregular designation of members of the Court, opaque pacts such as Lake hidden, and the attempt to impose the “clean file” as an excuse to transfer the power to choose candidates to the judicial system. A “republican fiction,” says the text, in a judiciary marked by corruption, privileges and obedience to financial capital.
The comparison with the Lula case in Brazil is not accidental: the PTS-fitu warns that this type of judicial maneuvers already were used in Latin America to twist the popular will and open the way to policies with greater adjustment and repression.
A defense of freedom from the left
Aware of its own history of confrontation and criticism of Kirchner governments, the project does not dodge the contradictions: recalls the repressions of labor and social conflicts, as in Kraft (2009), Lear (2014) and Guernica (2020). It also denounces the corruption networks that ended with the murder of Mariano Ferreyra or the Eleven massacre.
But from that critical place, defends the democratic right of any person to candidate, even when there are deep ideological differences.
Call for action
The proposal of the Left Front is not exhausted in Congress. It summons an active and collective response in the streets, with strikes, cuts, shots and mobilizations, as a way of facing what they define as a “adjustment, repression and proscription regime.”
More than a formal repudiation, the project raises a strategy of popular self -defense against the progress of a regime that is consolidated under the government of Milei, financial capital and the Judiciary. For the PTS-fit, defending democratic freedoms is not an institutional gesture: it is an urgent battle, melee, in every corner where a dissident voice is tried to silence.
