00:00Cristina Kirchner decides to talk about Rodis Rekalt's podcast.
00:06Who is Rodis Rekalt? He's a journalist from La Revista Noticias.
00:10He's been working on a podcast called Generation 94 for almost a year now.
00:15It's a bit of a commemoration of the Constitutional Reform of 1994.
00:21Why am I doing this introduction?
00:22Because Cristina was asked a lot about that.
00:25In that context, Cristina Kirchner says that a constitutional reform is necessary for her.
00:33Let's listen to Cristina Kirchner saying that the Constitution must be reformed.
00:38The Constitution must be reformed. I think the Constitution must be reformed.
00:42What else would you add besides the amendments?
00:45Besides the amendments, the period...
00:48Modifying the election period.
00:51There can't be elections every two years. There must be elections every four years.
00:55Adjusting the mandates so that they last four years.
01:00I think we also have to modify the Council of the Magistrate.
01:03I think the judicial system, actually.
01:06Because the presidential system was not attenuated.
01:09Nor does the judicial power act in its specific function
01:16for the excesses of the executive power.
01:20Look at what's happening in Argentina today with Decree 70.
01:23DNU 70.
01:25In the history of Argentina, there has never been a decree of necessity and urgency
01:29that derogates 70 or 80 laws and modifies another 300.
01:34Because there can't be necessity and urgency
01:37to make such a modification of the Constitution.
01:40What did justice say? Absolutely nothing.
01:43We have to introduce the issue of what can be declared constitutional or unconstitutional.
01:52Someone who can decide about your life, your freedom and your heritage,
01:56once it's named, it lasts a lifetime.
02:00The only power that does that is the judicial power.
02:05In other places, for example, the Attorney General in the United States
02:08is elected by the President and he leaves with the President.
02:12Here, with the current legislation, it lasts a lifetime.
02:15We have a monarchic remora in one of the powers of the State,
02:19which is also the power that has to balance and mitigate
02:24the excesses that the other two powers, the legislative and the executive, can make.
02:28We have it with a monarchic remora.
02:31Well, Cristina's reappearance is up to here.
02:33She's proposing a reform of the Constitution
02:35in terms of time or the term of office, right?
02:38Yes, basically, the issue of the election every two years of the legislative power.
02:42What is the proposal?
02:44First, we are permanently campaigning and that makes it difficult to manage.
02:48And, on the other hand, you always have a legislative power
02:51that doesn't fully support what the President wants to do.
02:58The most important thing about this, when Cristina says
03:00that the Constitution must be reformed,
03:02what we start to see is another indication of this pact
03:05that we've been talking about.
03:07Because imagine that if Cristina Kirchner is in favor
03:11of reforming the Constitution,
03:12Milley has already said in some opportunities
03:14that there are things about the Constitution that they don't like.
03:17Well, maybe one plus one is two,
03:21and they get the votes together to reform the Constitution.
03:25It sounds a bit like an olive tree pact,
03:27especially in the opportunity that is given, right?
03:29But Cristina told Rodis, Recal,
03:33because they asked her if there was a pact,
03:35that there was talk of a pact between them.
03:37She said, but they're taking my hair when they say that.
03:41She said it forcefully. She's not going to admit it, but...
03:44She's referring to something else.
03:46Of course, as you say, she's not going to admit it.
03:49The pact is, in any case, a pact for certain issues,
03:54if it ends up being consolidated.
03:57It's not a pact for management.
03:59She says, when she responds to Rodis to this situation,
04:02she says, well, look who supported the Basic Law.
04:06Who supported that the DNU decrees don't fall?
04:09Well, the pact is not with us.
04:11However, there are underground bridges between the two spaces.
04:15And the bridges that may exist
04:18will be around specific issues like justice,
04:21maybe...
04:22This is a first rehearsal, right?
04:25Well, we'll see.
