The article centers on Guillermo Francos, Argentina's Chief of Cabinet, criticizing Mauricio Macri, former president, for his position on the Senate's rejection of the nominations of Ariel Lijo and Manuel García-Mansilla for judicial appointments.
Francos argues that the rejection wasn't a government failure but rather a failure of the institutions. He points out the unprecedented nature of rejecting Supreme Court nominations, highlighting the unusual delay of a year in reaching a decision.
Francos suggests Macri's criticism is politically motivated, linked to upcoming elections in Buenos Aires. He questions why Macri didn't raise institutional concerns earlier, implying opportunistic timing.
The situation is framed within an electoral context, with political forces seeking differentiation. Francos characterizes the Senate's decision as a political one, not merely a procedural delay.
