In the midst of her fight with the courts over the Media Law, Argentine President Cristina Fernández took time to bash the Judiciary after Tuesday’s a scandalous ruling on the disappearance of a young woman, (kidnapped and forced into prostitution) with all suspects acquitted of all charges.

Nozzy, answer this please, what does CFK mean when she says, “democratization process of the Judiciary branch ”???
Troy - yes it's a terrible story I agree. Cristina means that she wants to put the judiciary under her control - as she is the saviour of democracy in Argentina.

Dec 13th, 2012 - 10:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Since there's an opportunity for increased power, she's stirring up the issue instead of hiding or denying it like she always does.
Dec 13th, 2012 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We already have enough of her minions in lower courts taking people's houses and businesses, while letting murderers, drug dealers and rapists do as they please.
She will not be able to go five sentences without bashing the Judiciary or saying that it needs to be “democratized”. If she manages to get that control, which she may not, there will still be criminals running around like roaches just as long as the press doesn't get heated up over it.
Who has all the evidence in the case? Never wise to make statements until you've seen and/or heard everything. Remember the case of Joanna Yeates in Britain when her landlord was arrested on suspicion?

Dec 13th, 2012 - 02:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0in a democratic country, with even half reasonable laws, any politician who said that, let alone a president, would be sacked on the spot.
she really is a self-important prima-donna with delusions of grandeur.
Has she basically accused the judges of accepting bribes from the accused in order to acquit them?
Dec 13th, 2012 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If that is the case then there should be hell to pay by either the judges or CFK depending on who is right.
@7. (I said this on the other thread but...) This is a case that is so over the top, outrageous and hits too many nerves, that the thought they'd acquit all without throwing the tiniest morsel of red meat to those seeking justice is pretty remote. If they were truly guilty, someone ~really~ screwed up and it wasn't the judges and my money (pardon the idiom) is that the blame lies solely with the prosecution and/or investigators.
Dec 13th, 2012 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't know anything about this case other than what I've read since yesterday but for the president to announce “I have no proofs but I’m certain there was money involved” is just idiotic.
Dec 13th, 2012 - 04:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How can she be certain if she doesn't have any proof - or even evidence?
A casual observation is that whatever the circumstances she is hoping to take political and undemocratic advantage of it.

“Nine idiotic comments from nine ignorant Anglo-Turnips.......”
Of which 1 is by an Argentine!!!!!!!
Idlehands has hit the nail on the head with his comment and so has GFace!!!!!
@6 POT and BLACK come to mind. GREASY as well, but that's a different topic. How one of the biggest crooks in LatAm thinks that she's entitled to point a finger is beyond me. Is her personal loot not currently estimated to be in excess of US$116 million? Mostly salted away in Switzerland. Although I'd be inclined to keep an eye out for “urgent” unexplained trips to Venezuela and “unexplained” heavy suitcases turning up at argie airports.

Brilliant intervention by Cristina, my respect for her continues to grow. Meanwhile these judicial hypocrites that all the haters were cheering on over Clarin have shown their true colours, in a case so outrageous theres not been that many comments from the anti-Cristinistas as there's little rational argument they can make...
Dec 22nd, 2012 - 10:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#5 Truly topsy turvy times to see you promoting a liberal approach...
#6 Thankfully Argentina is spared your hypocritical ideas of what a “democratic” leader should refrain from doing, and has a courageous executive branch that won't turn a blind eye to corruption in the judiciary =)
