The report was published this Sunday CORDOBA profile came about because various branches of the federal courts brought together two resolutions signed in recent days by the Federal Court of Appeal and the Federal Oral Court 2 (TOF2). They unleashed an internal battle over the Surnames appearing in appointments, promotions and transfers. This note does not question the performance or suitability of these individuals, but rather highlights the internal processes involved in reviewing fees.
A solution The staff of the Federal Court of Justice 1 was legalizedassigned by the judge of Río Cuarto Carlos Ochoa. The Federal Chamber, with the signatures of Abel Sanchez Torres, Graciela Montesi and Eduardo Avalos 22 workers were hired.
The decision was held by the union, the Union of Judicial Employees of the Nation (UEJN)since employee movements generally do not take place in courts without a proper judge. The lengthy processes in the Council of the Judiciary, the Executive Branch and in Congress to fill vacancies were the reason for the resolution.
Immediately, in the depths of hell, there are those who have emphasized this Sanchez Torres – he even excused himself from intervening for “reasons of propriety” – signed the agreement where one of his children shows up.
Almost at the same time there was another one Promotion to TOF 2. From the position of office manager Carolina Aguad -with four years old, because he entered in November 2021 – that was it Promoted to secretary. Generally, the judicial career takes 20 or 25 years to reach this rank. In this case the noise also occurred because jumped a step on the ladderIs Daughter of former Defense Minister Oscar Aguadwith whom the President of this Court collaborated, Noël Costaand wife of the national MP with a mandate until next Wednesday, Rodrigo de Loredo.
Court sources suggested so There were no challenges from the two deputy secretaries who could have filled this position, who gave up the promotion for different reasons. They added that the resolution, which bears the signature of Costa and member José Fabián Asís, reads “prior consultations and consensus” with the staff.
Also The daughter of a former attorney general for the province of Córdob was promotedHead of the Office – a position of utmost trust among the judges, since they are the ones who write the judgments – and the New addition to the daughter of a federal prosecutorwho is younger than 20 years old, has graduated from high school and occupies the last position on the career ladder with a salary of $2 millionthat everyone would like to have. Would the son of a resident of the city of Córdoba have the same chances of taking on a position of this quality?
This situation is added to the criminal complaint filed in September this year by the former secretary of the Chamber, Celina Laje, with the Judicial Council against the highest authorities of this court for alleged labor abuses that took place after a Prosecution castling. The judiciary will decide whether there was a crime or not, and the Council will decide whether the case deserves sanctions or not, but at that point the scandal surrounding the controversial charge had already been established.
From the union, they launched a possible new “Paratroopers”-style campaign when they opposed the appointment of lawyers who worked in the provincial judiciary when the TOF3 was founded. In this case, they say they are against “excelerious careers” and are against “pole vaulting” to demand strict adherence to promotions according to ranks without rewarding anyone for being “related to” or “connected to.”
The union denounced Judge Vaca Narvaja before the electoral chamber
Last Friday, the Union of Judicial Employees of the Nation (Uejn) presented one formal complaint to the state electoral chamber against the federal judge with electoral jurisdiction in Córdoba, Miguel Hugo Vaca Narvajaand asked for his intervention. The presentation bears the signatures of the Secretary General Julio Piumatto, the head of the guild in Córdoba, Juan Tripputi, and the Secretary of Electoral Affairs, Elías Ferrando.
In the presentation they accuse Vaca Narvaja lead a “Kirchnerist group”.“through his secretary in the Federal Court 3 (JF3), of which he is the head. They don’t mention his name, but that’s the point Sitrajuthe Argentine Judicial Workers Union.
They point out that members of the UEJN have felt discriminated against, harassed and persecuted “because of their affiliation and membership”; that Vaca Narvaja confirms an “unjust” mechanism of “rewards and punishments” and pressure on workers and contractors “to participate in the above-mentioned group”. In addition, they mention “violence and mistreatment in the workplace” and confirm that “its employees admitted to the Federal Court No. 3 are coordinating militancy, especially of people hired to carry out functions in the context of the midterm elections to the national parliament this year.”
They add evidence and pictures of what they describe as a “bunker” that Sitraju had in the basement of the federal courts, which was assigned to the election secretariat, a room intended for the preparation of materials for the elections, such as ballot papers and ballot boxes.
This is not the first time that the Pumatto and Tripputi Guild has attacked Vaca Narvaja. Months ago, the judge suggested appointing an outside attorney as clerk who had no previous legal career in the federal courts.
The Uejn defused a scathing campaign – using the image of a cow – and accused him of publicly “his”. complete disregard for justice“in an interview he gave to this medium. In this note, Vaca Narvaja had indicated that he was fighting “the endogamy of the judiciary.”
The relationship between the union and the judge is characterized by an increasingly virulent climate of confrontation. The latest episode was last Friday’s complaint. The state electoral chamber must now examine the complaint and decide whether formal proceedings should be initiated to determine the facts.
What the judge says
This medium questioned the accused judge about his connection with Sitraju. He replied that he did not participate “in internal union matters.” That’s what he said The conflict arises “due to an internal” from which it is “alien”. He recalled that in his past he was a member of a workers’ union, Sipos, where he served as a delegate and press spokesman. “Currently I am a member of the Association of Magistrates, the Association of Federal Judges and Legitimate Justice,” he said.
In addition, he claimed that “the court is up to date on important issues such as the discovery of human remains in La Perla (Room of Remembrance) and important criminal cases on other subjects. I am a university professor and I am currently doing my doctoral thesis. The truth is that I don’t have much time for anything else.”
He pointed out that “the accusations read in the posters are false and offensive, as is the accusation of one of the best lawyers in the province of being a ‘parachutist’, in a sexist manner and without the possibility of a defence.”
Finally, he added that “the elections scored 10 points and the 50 people hired worked brilliantly.”
