The background of her decision
The Security Minister's entourage doesn't hide their distrust regarding the motivation of the Kirchnerist judge. Although they avoid expressing it publicly, they maintain that her ruling aimed to "nullify the police procedure" and weaken the State's ability to maintain order in the streets.
In her resolution, Andrade questioned that the police did not provide enough information about the arrests. "The basic requirements to assess the legality of the detention were not met," she argued.
However, from Security, they explained that the identification process takes time, especially when there are more than 100 arrested in an ongoing disturbance context.
"The judge knew this because it was public and notorious, but she overlooked it in practice," accused official sources. They also pointed out that Andrade failed to consider a key logistical problem: the capacity to accommodate the detainees.
"Where were these people going to stay?" the judge asked in a radio interview, hinting that her decision was also motivated by operational factors beyond her judicial role.
With this action, the ruling party seeks to set a precedent and prevent judges aligned with Kirchnerism from obstructing the actions of security forces and guaranteeing impunity to violent individuals and agitators.
