Milei's government will denounce the Kirchnerist judge who released terrorists

The ultra-Kirchnerist judge Karina Andrade, responsible for the Criminal, Misdemeanor, and Offenses Court No. 15 of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, will be denounced by the Government of Javier Milei.

The complaint will be filed through the National Security Ministry, for alleged malfeasance and breach of public official duties following her controversial decision to release the 114 detainees in the violent demonstration on Wednesday.

The Director of Regulations and Relations with the Judicial Powers and Public Ministries, Fernando Soto, will formalize the complaint this Monday on behalf of the department led by Patricia Bullrich.

The accusation focuses on Andrade allegedly issuing unlawful resolutions, releasing criminals who were arrested in flagrante delicto during last Wednesday's disturbances.

Sources from the Ministry of Security confirmed that Andrade allegedly acted with ideological bias, prioritizing her personal convictions over the application of the law. "It's not that we complain about what she solved, but the way she did it violated the law," they stated from Bullrich's department.

The magistrate defended her decision, claiming that she supposedly protected the "right to protest" and "freedom of expression," relying on a biased interpretation of the Constitution. "My argument was strictly legal," Andrade declared, citing constitutionalist Roberto Gargarella.

However, from Milei's Government, they refute her stance and emphasize that the legal analysis should have focused on whether there was a risk of flight or obstruction of the investigation.

"It's not about waiting for a detainee to escape or destroy evidence, but assessing if there's a real possibility of it happening. And besides, there was recurrence: many had prior records and ongoing cases," explained sources close to Bullrich.

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.
