The Attorney General of Buenos Aires, Gabriel Astarloa, has denounced this Tuesday the government of the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, for a crime of disobedience for refusing to comply with a Supreme Court ruling on the resources destined to the city of Buenos Aires.
The Supreme Court ruling alluded to an increase from 1.40 percent to 2.95 percent in the co-participation funds. «It is the non-compliance of a judicial resolution, which also fits autonomously in the crime of disobedience,» reads the complaint, reported by the newspaper ‘Clarín’.
In the complaint filed this Tuesday, which also affects officials of Fernández’s Executive –especially the Ministry of Economy– the Attorney General argues that the facts could breach articles 239 and 248 of the Argentine Criminal Code by not paying the percentage difference.
On the other hand, the head of the Government of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, has stated that the central Executive has crossed «all limits», so that the autonomous city will go to «the bottom» of the matter, as reported by the Télam news agency.
On the eve, Fernandez reported on his official Twitter profile that they would carry out such transfers in bonds and that they would seek to revoke the resolution of the highest Argentine court. «Respectful of the rule of law I will seek to reverse the Court’s bad resolution,» he expressed.
