(By Silvia Rajcher) The security crisis in Rosario next week will become one of the central issues on the parliamentary agenda in the Chamber of Deputies, with the attempt to rule on Wednesday on a project agreed between the legislators of Santa Fe to strengthen Justice and have more tools to fight organized crime and drug trafficking.
In addition, on Thursday the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, will appear at the request of the benches of the Frente de Todos (FdT) and Juntos por el Cambio (JxC), to present a report on the situation in the most populous city of Santa Fe.
The first activity will take place on Wednesday at 11 a.m. when the plenary of the Justice and Criminal Legislation commissions – chaired by Rodolfo Tailhade (FdT) and María Lujan Rey (JxC) – meet to discuss the project that seeks to shore up the Justice of Santa Fe.
The deputies will analyze the project designed by Roberto Mirabella (FdT) from Santa Fe and supported by the legislators of that province that seeks to create 13 federal prosecutor positions, four defense offices and six federal courts.
It also creates six positions of federal criminal judge with review functions, in order to be able to move faster with criminal cases, in a context of sharp increase in homicides and drug trafficking.
The call was made after the front of a supermarket that belongs to the paternal family of Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of soccer star Lionel Messi, was shot in the Santa Fe city of Rosario by criminals who fired 14 shots and also left a an intimidating note for the captain of the Argentine soccer team that won the World Cup in Qatar.
It will be the first time that a project that has a high degree of consensus can be discussed since November, since the bid between the FdT and JxC has made parliamentary activity difficult since that month.
Both coalitions first clashed over the integration of the Judicial Council, and this summer, the differences deepened when President Alberto Fernández, together with provincial leaders, decided to promote the impeachment of the four members of the Supreme Court (Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ricardo Lorenzetti).
The main opposition coalition tried to boycott the extraordinary sessions and the ruling party was able to prevent this from happening only last Tuesday, when it managed, together with the provincial deputies, the Federal Interblock and the left, to gather a quorum to hold a special session to approve the pension moratorium and the Digitization of medical records.
In any case, in JxC the decision to block parliamentary activity is losing strength and there are already many deputies who want to normalize the work of Congress, either to promote their own projects or request the summons of officials.
The first understanding was glimpsed on the same Tuesday, when it was agreed between the deputies of the FdT and JxC to summon the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, after a request made by the radical legislator Juan Martín.
Although the ruling party did not accept the request for interpellation of Fernández, it was agreed with the opposition that the minister attend to present before the Internal Security Commission, chaired by the pro-government deputy Ramiro Gutiérrez.
On the occasion, the president of the FdT bloc, Germán Martínez, recognized that it was necessary for Fernández to expose in the lower house.
“We have a point of agreement on the relevance of this issue, but we have to discuss it at length. I live in Rosario and we are looking for solutions,” Martínez said in journalistic statements.
In that Commission, it was agreed with the official his presence for Thursday at 1:00 p.m. with the purpose of reporting on the help provided by the Nation to face the serious crisis in Rosario, where a high homicide rate was registered in 2022 and continues in increase in the first months of this year.
But prior to Fernández’s visit, the deputies will advance with the project to strengthen the Santa Fe Justice, promoted by the legislators of that province.
“The intention is to rule on the same Wednesday in plenary,” he assured Télam Tailhade, who highlighted the importance of advancing on this text that contains 26 articles, which could undergo some editorial changes in the framework of the debate.
At the end of November 2022, the Justice Commission chaired by Tailhade received judges, prosecutors and specialists to analyze the project, which did not receive a favorable opinion.
In statements to Télam, Mirabella pointed out that “the actions that we must carry out are many and all at once in the short, medium and long term.”
“In Congress we are going to analyze a project that the deputies for Santa Fe presented to strengthen the Federal Justice. What we want is for the Senate to approve the specifications and the accusatory system can be implemented in the new penal code,” said the legislator. .
The purpose of the project that will be discussed on Wednesday is to strengthen the Federal Criminal Justice System of the province of Santa Fe for the purposes of implementing the Federal Criminal Procedure Code, Law No. 27,063, its amending and complementary regulations.
One of the essential points establishes that “those who are holders of the Federal Prosecutor’s Offices before the Courts, Chambers and oral tribunals of the jurisdiction of the Federal Court of Appeals of Rosario, may perform simultaneously before the judges with the function of guarantee, review, trial and execution of the fiscal district corresponding to its seat”.
It also establishes the creation of 27 positions of Federal Criminal Prosecutor with jurisdiction in the Rosario Federal District, of which 15 will be installed in the city of Rosario, seven in Santa Fe, one in Rafaela, and one in Venado Tuerto.
It also proposes the implementation of nine positions of Federal Official Defender with jurisdiction in the Rosario Federal District, of which three will be in Rosario, two in Santa Fe, one in Rafaela and another in Venado Tuerto.
