Argentina: The sentence to Cristina, capitalist corruption and an independent investigation

ByAlejandro Bodart, leader of the LIS and the MST in the FIT Unidad

The Road Traffic case and Cristina's conviction puts the entire political caste in debate, to the network of corruption to which businessmen appeal to do business and capitalist rulers to enrich themselves. In that there is no “rift” between the PJ and Juntos. Even libertines like Milei promote companies that later go bankrupt, in exchange for change.

Crudely exposes the decadent capitalist system, of which corruption is a structural and intrinsic part, to guarantee that profit motive of the 1% richer. And it also includes the union bureaucracy complicit in delivering achievements to guarantee employer exploitation., receiving “envelopes” under the table.

Question judges and prosecutors who make political choices about which case to advance or not., and they take this to investigate according to their convenience. A classist justice, functional for the rich, which we saw perform these days. Beyond the fact that Cristina is not imprisoned and there is still a long process, We do not validate or recognize this justice that acts for political convenience to condemn or disqualify, when what they are least looking for is justice or reaching the truth.

Just as we do not recognize his authority to judge union or social fighters.. Not even to investigate those who charge measly 28.000 pesos, while they do not do so with those who fled an entire GDP abroad. Or to agribusiness and highlighters, who speculate with food and have record profits at the expense of the poverty of working people.

We have the right to investigate the corruption of the rulers

Corruption is a practice of capitalists to take over public works and officials to finance politics and amass fortunes.. Julio De Vido appears there, Lázaro Báez or José López's bags, but also Macri, Arribas, Aranguren and others. The entire political arc of the system is responsible for this., beyond being accused of electoral calculations.

For our part, we defend the right of the population to know what happened to the money that drains into the dark sewer of corruption.. to get to the truth, know those responsible and punish without leaving doubts of a fair and impartial process. For that, From the left we are the only ones who propose an independent investigation that guarantees progress on all corruptions, those of PJ, macrismo, the freedmen or the dictatorship.

We demand to convene by law an Independent Investigative Commission, a CONADEP of corruption, with the necessary attributes to investigate and get involved where necessary. Made up of impeccable personalities, of human rights, intellectuals, fighters and workers recognized for their career, without any commitment to political or business power.

A fundamental change in the judicial system

By rejecting the sentence, Cristina made strong complaints, but it does not call for organizing measures against that judicial “mafia” that can go after the rights of anyone. Neither in his presidencies nor now does he propose a comprehensive reform of this justice that he denounces. Why, background, Nobody wants to go against the judicial framework that serves the interests of both sides of the rift.

For this we propose the election of judges and prosecutors by popular vote., with the revocation of mandate and the end of eternal positions, where they earn like a school director and attend the hospital and public school with their families, in addition to the extension of jury trials. Faced with partial justice, undemocratic, repressive and at the service of capitalist interests, Only with the left do we propose these measures to radically transform it.
