During his trip to Israel, President Javier Milei stated,
“The independent judiciary did what it had to do”
regarding the six-year prison sentence for former president Cristina Kirchner in the Vialidad Case corruption trial. The confirmation of Kirchner’s conviction sparked discussions about justice and governance under Milei’s administration.
In a significant event at the Museum of Tolerance, following his speech at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Milei was honored with the Genesis Prize, also known as the Jewish Nobel. This recognition highlighted Milei as the
“first head of state to receive the ‘Jewish Nobel’ for his unwavering support for Israel.”
His stance on issues such as anti-Israel votes in international forums and commitment to combating terrorism earned him praise.
The organization behind the Genesis Prize commended Milei’s efforts by stating that he
“reversed decades of anti-Israel votes at the UN, labeled Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations, and vowed to bring terrorists responsible for anti-Semitic attacks in Buenos Aires in the 1990s to justice.”
This accolade symbolized not only recognition but also solidarity with Israel and its values of justice and freedom.
Reflecting on upholding legal standards, Sandra Pettovello shared a closure incident involving a bar named “Un café con Perón.
” After authorities rescinded its concession due to violations, Pettovello emphasized compliance with regulations by posting a video showing the enforcement process. The caption “
La ley se cumple” (“The law is followed
“) underscored respect for legal procedures in governance.
In an address at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem during his diplomatic tour, President Javier Milei broke his silence on Cristina Kirchner’s verdict. He expressed confidence in judicial independence by stating, “
I allowed judges to act freely, and justice prevailed.” Emphasizing non-interference in judicial matters showcased Milei’s commitment to upholding democratic principles.
Acknowledging milestones reached during his term, Milei humbly attributed judicial outcomes solely to legal processes. He remarked, “I have been consistent with my republican vision by letting judges operate independently,” highlighting adherence to constitutional norms. By refraining from influencing judicial decisions, he set a precedent for respecting institutional autonomy.
As Gerardo Puig updates on government actions under Javier Milei’s leadership, each development reflects a blend of legal adherence and diplomatic engagement. With a focus on policy implementation guided by principles of justice and sovereignty protection.
