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.
