He Minister of Justice, Mariano Cúneo Libaronaassured that the government of Javier Milei will present before Congress this year a project to lower the age of imputability from 16 to 14 years.
“There are two systems in the world. You have the Swiss or English criteria, which divides according to crimes and makes gradations according to age. It starts up to the age of 10. But in principle, from everything I have read, I prefer something without so many twists and turns,” said the official in statements to Radio Rivadavia.
“Because, why Regardless of the particular crime committed, the boy already shows deviant behavior, socially disvaluable behavior. From 14, for example, which is the age I like. And it is the one supported by almost the 30 projects that I have on my desk that have been presented and have not received legislative approval. “Almost everyone takes 14 years as the age of imputability,” he added.
Milei’s agenda in Davos is a headache: he has 80 audience requests at the Forum
Those minors who are between 16 and 18 years old are punishable, although they cannot be tried in proceedings as if they were adults, in accordance with the provisions of current legislation.
Asked if the project will target certain crimes, he responded: “For all crimes. Because the boy, whether it is theft, robbery, abuse or anything else, already shows a personality that deserves attention and punishment. So, dividing according to crimes, and leaving some without punishment or education, makes no sense. That boy deserves attention, no matter what the crime. “That boy deserves care, attention, re-education, work and training.”
“I would divide the issue of minors into two facets. One, on which we are all going to agree, with the sanctioning regime. What I aspire to is something more. There are two things. First, a different procedural system. You cannot make the same judgment to an adult as to a minor. It has to be different,” he added..
Milei answered Andrés Rodríguez (and the CGT): “What should I do? Let’s see, suggest another solution.”
“The second is the most innovative. What I want to create. It doesn’t help me that a minor goes to jail. The penalty. “Let him go to a prison with a capacity for 200 and there are 350,” she said.
Then, he considered: “What I want to emphasize in minors is reeducation, resocialization, obligation to study, obligation to work. Because these children have the possibility, that other children did not have, of reintegrating into society properly.” .
“I don’t believe in sanctions, in which they say ‘we are going to punish the 14-year-old boy because he has a deviant personality.’ I think that we have to give him tools so that he can reintegrate into society“he commented.
“My objectives for 2024 are: the appointment of judges, because there are many vacancies; implementation of the federal system throughout the country, with the adversarial regime, because it is already law; trial by jury, at the same time; and minority regime “, he concluded.
