In a new twist on this serial into which the candidacy of Daniel Rafecas for the Attorney General’s Office became, now from the sector most referenced in Cristina Kirchner of the ruling Senate bench they went out to warn that they are not willing to accompany the judge’s statement because it is “The candidate of Change”.
In March of last year, President Alberto Fernández was the one who proposed Rafecas to be the chief prosecutor.
Since then, its sheet remains drawer in the upper house.

The reaction of the Christian wing of the Senate’s Frente de Todos block is due to the recent public offers from Together for Change to move forward in the Senate with the treatment of the Rafecas statement.
After a series of internal discussions, the main opposition group sent signals that they could help the ruling party to obtain two-thirds to approve the appointment of Rafecas.
The position that prevailed in the opposition is what they call the “Lesser evil”And that Elisa Carrió has been cooking up since last year. They prefer Rafecas to a lawyer with a Kirchner profile.
Last week, when the ruling party was getting ready to obtain a commission opinion in the Deputies to the reform project to the law of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and Alberto Fernandez accused the opposition of blocking two-thirds in the Senate, the national board of Together for Change was shown willing to support the sheet in exchange for the withdrawal of this initiative from Congress.
“It is clear that Kirchnerism never wanted Rafecas as Attorney General and prioritizes his law to end the independence of the Justice, ”tweeted the radical Mario Negri, president of the interblock of Together for the Change in Deputies.
What’s more: Negri and his Senate peer Luis Naidenoff they demanded by note to Cristina Kirchner start the treatment of the Rafecas sheet, “It has been drafted for a year.”
But those opposition movements provoked the reaction of Christianity: now They warned that they are not going to vote on the Rafecas statement because it is being promoted by Cambiemos.
In good creole: they seem to have found a new excuse not to support the candidate proposed by Alberto Fernández.
“Now Rafecas is basically Negri’s candidate”, ironized a senator who responds to Cristina Kirchner.
Another Peronist senator added: “It only remains for Macri and Larreta to support him and we sing full cardboard.”
More reasons for annoyance.
In the smallest wing of the Frente de Todos bench, they are also annoyed with Rafecas for announcing that he would lower his application if the law of the Public Prosecutor’s Office is modified.
“Rafecas wanted to condition the nation’s senators when he said that he would decline his candidacy if the law was changed. What he did is unacceptable. I shouldn’t even have had an opinion, ”objected a Peronist.
A more upset Senator K added: “Silence should have been called and instead he began to co-choir “.
Close to Vice President Cristina Kirchner they coincide, although with a more moderate tone: “The public expressions of Rafecas were not very wise. They were not talking about violating any regulations, but about sanctioning a better law ”.
Sources close to Cristina Kirchner they question the opposition for having now offered to collaborate with the two-thirds.
“When the quorum in Deputies was almost achieved to approve the new law (of the Procuratorate) they offered to help the ruling party to approve the specifications. It was a swerve that they gave ”, they maintained.
And they added: “They are chicaneando us. It is clear to us that what they want me to continue (the acting attorney Eduardo) Casal”.
In the environment of the vice president they emphasize that the order of treatment should be as follows: First the sanction of the new law of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and recently later the specifications of the candidate for attorney.
New law
Last week the bill obtained an opinion in a plenary session of the Deputies’ Commissions for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, and left the initiative ready to be voted on at the venue.
Among other changes, the project lowers the attorney general’s term to five years -Today is for life-; establishes that to elect him an absolute majority (37 votes) will be required instead of the two-thirds (48) in force; to remove him, a political trial will not be necessary; and the replacement system is changed in case of vacancy.
Until now, the ruling party does not have the quorum to be able to take the initiative to the venue.
But according to the information they handle in the bench of the Front of All of the Senate, the Deputies did not give up and They “keep working” to get the law out.
“They say they are about to advance,” they comment in the K wing of the block.
“It is going to open a loophole “, they assure.
Until now, all the scores indicate that the ruling party would be lacking between four and six deputies to reach a quorum and be able to start the session.

An interpretation that is extended in the ruling Senate bench is that “It would be a political defeat” Failure to draft a new law and approve the Rafecas statement, now “stained” – according to them – due to opposition support.
In the event that the law is advanced, the Executive Branch must withdraw his statement of the Senate.
On the one hand, because the judge said that with a new rule he will not accept being a solicitor.
On the other, for the resistors generated by the candidate in the Frente de Todos block.
Until now, the government has not indicated that it wants to withdraw it; it also did not move for the Senate to address it.
