Council of the Magistracy: Judge Lugones attributed the breakup of the Celeste list to a sector aligned with Kirchnerism

Federal judge and Council of the Magistracy member Alberto Lugones publicly attributed the fracture of the Lista Celeste—traditionally the most progressive judicial faction—to political and ideological interference from a sector aligned with Kirchnerism.

Lugones asserted that a distinct political 'hand' was behind the division within the judicial sector, pointing to internal ideological pressures affecting the alignment of judges within the council.
