Cristina Kirchner is pressuring the Supreme Court in an attempt to postpone the ruling.

Horacio Rossati called the other judges of the highest court to hold a meeting this Tuesday at 4:00 p.m

The corrupt former president Cristina Kirchner sent one of her "trusted men" to the Supreme Court in an attempt to postpone the ruling that would sentence her to 6 years of house arrest and permanently disqualify her from holding public office, according to reports from TN.

This took place after the president of the Court, Horacio Rossati, called the other justices of the highest court to hold a meeting this Tuesday at 4:00 p.m., with the purpose of issuing a ruling against the former president in the Vialidad case.

"At this moment, Gerónimo Ustarroz is walking around the Supreme Court, trying to get an audience. The Court is receiving numerous calls in an effort to stop the ruling and is under pressure from Cristina Kirchner's faction to try to change the former president's fate so that the ruling today doesn't issue the sentence and is postponed again," journalist Adrian Ventura stated.

Yesterday, it became known that the Supreme Court is already working on the ruling that will confirm Cristina Kirchner's sentence in the Vialidad case. The decision can't be postponed beyond Friday.

Carlos Rosenkrantz, one of the members of the highest court, is the one who has the most reservations regarding the appropriate timing to issue the decision. The magistrate returned this Monday from a trip to Río Negro and next week will travel to Mexico.

A key fact is that the Criminal Secretariat of the Court is currently preparing a "reasoned rejection" of the appeal filed by Cristina Kirchner. This implies two things:

First, the judicial decision is getting closer. If it is not solved before Friday, the pronouncement will be made after Rosenkrantz returns from Mexico, which would place it too close to the deadline for the registration of lists for the legislative elections.

Second, the ruling will not be limited to a brief resolution under Article 280 of the Code of Procedure, as had been speculated until now, but will be an "opinion with legal grounds."
