Within the \u00a0Patria Institute\u00a0, a strategy is emerging that could fundamentally alter the \u00a0electoral landscape\u00a0: \u00a0Cristina Kirchner’s bid\u00a0 as a candidate in the third electoral section of the province of Buenos Aires. This move comes even in the wake of her confirmed sentence for corruption and a \u00a0perpetual disqualification\u00a0 from holding public office.<\/p>\n

The premise hinges on a constitutional interpretation emphasizing \u00a0the right to choose and be chosen\u00a0 as a cornerstone of democracy. According to a report obtained by \u00a0Infobae\u00a0, Kirchner\u2019s conviction does not automatically preclude her candidacy since \u00a0the right to suffrage\u00a0, encompassing both \u00a0active and passive dimensions\u00a0, is protected both by the National Constitution and international treaties ratified by Argentina.<\/p>\n

Central to this argument is the \u00a0American Convention on Human Rights\u00a0, particularly Article 23, which affirms the right of all citizens to vote and be elected via authentic voting processes.<\/p>\n

To substantiate this position, a segment of Kirchnerism cites precedents where \u00a0the rights to vote and to be elected form an indivisible unit\u00a0. They contend that the right to vote inherently confers the right to stand for election, adhering to the indivisibility of political rights.<\/p>\n

For instance, they reference the \u00a0Supreme Court ruling in 2002\u00a0, which acknowledged the voting rights of incarcerated individuals, illustrating a broad interpretation of electoral rights. In \u00a02016\u00a0, the National Electoral Chamber ruled that various restrictions imposed by the Electoral Code and the Criminal Code were unconstitutional, asserting that political rights should not be limited based on a firm conviction.<\/p>\n

Further cases from \u00a02007\u00a0 highlight the Supreme Court of Buenos Aires’s focus on ensuring \u00a0access to electoral rights\u00a0, as demonstrated in its decisions favoring candidates Francisco de Narv\u00e1ez and Daniel Scioli. These judicial outcomes are interpreted by Kirchnerism supporters as crucial for validating candidacies from individuals whose legal situations are contentious.<\/p>\n

Citing precedent, they also refer to \u00a0Horacio Rosatti\u00a0, the president of the Supreme Court, asserting in his Constitutional Law Treaty that \u00a0political proscription contradicts the Argentine legal framework\u00a0. Rosatti argues that depriving individuals of their rights to political association and expression runs counter to key constitutional principles.<\/p>\n

The report emphasizes that the existing electoral laws are excessively stringent and represent an infringement on fundamental rights, concluding that \u00a0electoral justice\u00a0 should not restrict Kirchner’s candidacy. “If electoral justice allows it, she may run, but not assume office,” they suggest, cementing their argument.<\/p>\n

This complex strategy could be formally proposed this Saturday at the \u00a0Congress of the Buenos Aires PJ\u00a0 in Merlo, marking a significant moment in the political landscape of Argentina, especially as Kirchner maneuvers through these intricate legal and constitutional hurdles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
