The Government's ambitious Justice proposal: to appoint 300 national and federal judges

The Argentine government has proposed filling 300 judicial vacancies at national and federal levels by year-end, including positions in the strategic Federal Chamber of the Capital and federal oral courts. The proposal includes appointing 40% of the judges from within the Judiciary itself. Additionally, there are discussions about reducing the tenure of the Attorney General of the Nation to two terms, potentially ending their lifetime appointment. However, the exact duration of these terms remains undecided. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court confirmed the seizure of nearly $685 million from Cristina Kirchner and others convicted in legal cases. There is uncertainty regarding whether President Javier Milei will fill the two remaining Supreme Court vacancies by the end of 2026 or defer it to 2028. The current Chief Justice, Ricardo Lorenzetti, has urged the president to appoint candidates from the judiciary rather than politics, particularly for federal roles. Several names have been mentioned as potential candidates, but previous nominations were rejected by the legislature. The government also aims to reform the role of the Attorney General under the new accusatory system, which grants檢

Polls: more polls position Axel Kicillof as "main opponent" to Milei by 2027

Recent opinion polls suggest that Axel Kicillof, the governor of Buenos Aires province, is emerging as the leading opposition figure to President Javier Milei ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. These surveys indicate that Kicillof has gained significant support, surpassing other prominent leaders within the Peronist movement such as Cristina Kirchner, Patricia Bullrich, and Myriam Bregman. Meanwhile, Milei’s approval ratings have declined since 2024.

Other figures like Cristina Kirchner and Patricia Bullrich also show varying levels of support.

The governor of Buenos Aires province, Axel Kicillof, accused President Javier Milei’s government of launching an 'attack' against the province. Speaking during an interview on C5N, Kicillof responded to criticism from new Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli, who called him 'the worst governor in history.' Kicillof claimed the attacks were directed at the province rather than himself and highlighted repeated requests for meetings to address unpaid debts. He criticized the national government’s economic policies, arguing they are harming the economy and increasing public debt. Kicillof also linked Milei’s leadership to increased influence of PRO party figures within the executive branch and accused the administration of focusing on electoral disputes. During a separate event, he cited a significant rise in unemployment and closures since Milei took office.
