Argentine government condemns ‘justice’

The Argentine government has condemned the “prosecution” of the country’s vice president, Cristina Fernandez, following a tax inquiry.

According to executive Alberto Fernández, “the prosecution supported and propagated by various media, the offensive characterization of the figure of an illegal association and the introduction of pre-trial detention as early punishment” are “aspects that are contrary to the dogmatics of the law of the criminal” in a state of law.

“None of the acts attributed to the former president have been proven, and all accusations against her relate only to the role that she performed during that period, which lamentably humiliates the most elementary principles of modern criminal law,” the statement said.

The government reaffirmed its “commitment to the constitutional principle of innocence and the full legitimacy of the democratic functioning of justice, the right to protection and equality before the law” and stated that it “will continue to fight for judicial reform that guarantees these values ​​for one and all.”
