Minister Federico Sturzenegger warned that he is considering reforms in the judiciary.

During his visit to La Rural, the Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, expressed his intention to promote reforms in the judicial system. “The judicial system is the last stronghold of the caste,” he stated.

He also mentioned that he is studying "what the French Revolution did with the judicial system." Although he clarified that logically he doesn't seek to implement "all the methods of the French Revolution."

Sturzenegger launched his criticisms at the Judiciary in a presentation where he questioned a precautionary measure that halted a decree aimed at liberalizing and deregulating maritime cabotage.

The Minister of Deregulation directed his criticisms directly at the ruling of labor judge Viviana Dobarro, who dealt a new judicial blow to the libertarian administration by suspending a dozen articles of the emergency decree 340/2025.

This regulation, signed in May by President Javier Milei together with his cabinet, introduced reforms in the maritime cabotage regime, allowing the use of foreign vessels and crews in Argentine waters.

“An entrepreneur from the only company that had remained engaged in cabotage filed the precautionary measure. It's a company called National Shipping, with Horacio Liendo as their attorney. They basically managed to stop us, for now,” the minister stated.

In that context, Sturzenegger elaborated: “The judicial system is interesting. It turns out to be the last stronghold of the caste. That is, you have privileges that you are removing. Sometimes you remove them with a simple decree, I'm not talking about an emergency decree. The private sector feels its rights are affected, so it goes, requests a precautionary measure, and obtains a precautionary measure.”

“That's why I'm studying what the French Revolution did with the judicial system,” Sturzenegger commented. “Because imagine that when the French Revolution arrived, they had a judicial system that treated nobles differently from common people,” he explained. He added with a touch of irony: “We'll see about moving forward without using all the methods of the French Revolution.”
