POLITICS & LAW: Judges protest
A group of Argentine judges held a protest on 7 July against alleged government intervention in the judiciary. In particular, the judges have been angered by congress’ approval of the Ley de Subrogancias, which grants extra powers to the Consejo de la Magistratura, the body that has the power to hire and fire judges. Following the law’s approval, the council replaced Luis María Cabral, an experienced judge, with an inexperienced pro-government lawyer.
