The president of the Supreme Court, Justice Horacio Rosatti, said today that the national government’s monetary policy “betrays the mandate of the [National] Constitution.”“The text commands us to defend the value of the currency,” Rosatti said in the annual summit of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Argentina (Amcham Argentina). That move allowed Rosatti to take over as head of the institution, which is in charge of selecting federal judges. “It is an institutional coup,” said Justice Minister Martín Soria at the time. Amcham’s annual summit gathers business leaders, public officials, and civil society representatives. This year, it is taking place as the US and Argentina celebrate 200 years of commercial relations.
