Macri uses prosecutor to take office 12 hrs. early and bar predecessor from inaugural.
The director of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI), Oscar Parrilli, told reporters this afternoon that “conditions are not given” for outgoing President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to attend the swearing-in ceremony in Congress next Thursday for President-elect Mauricio Macri.
The decision came after Federal Prosecutor Jorge Di Lello upheld an injunction filed by Macri asserting that President Fernández de Kirchner’s term ends Wednesday, December 10, at midnight - 12 hours before the actual end of the constitutionally mandated term of four exact years (Article 90).
After a crisis meeting held earlier today at the Senate Office Building between Parrilli, Presidential Chief of Staff Eduardo de Pedro, and representatives from Macri's right-wing PRO party, the director of the AFI explained that as a result the president cannot attend the swearing-in because if “they are saying she will no longer be the president, she could easily be charged with usurping public offices" if she does appear at Macri's swearing-in without his invitation.
Di Lello’s decision, which must be reviewed no later than tomorrow by Appellate Judge María Servini de Cubría, contradicted statements made by the National Notary Public Natalio Etchegaray, who on Monday assured that the Head of State would end her term when the president-elect is sworn in Thursday at noon as President Kirchner herself was.
"We consider this matter closed. She won’t attend Congress under these circumstances, and will instead let the incoming president take office when he considers he must do so,” Parrilli said, warning as well that due to its failure to act the judiciary will leave the country without a president for 12 hours.
The situation, he concluded, is “institutionally serious. I don’t see any difference between this and a coup.”

Di Lello is one of a number of prosticutors controlled by Macri, to the point that they will actually move up the presidential inaugural 12 full hours to suit their boss.
You can imagine what stooges like him might do once da boss actually takes office (the GOP is no doubt taking notes).
= new reply since forum marked as read
I recall there was a struggle a few years ago regarding newsprint. Didn't know how Clarín came to control so much. Looks as if Clarín's ties to the fascists are vast. They sold their souls.
It's important to learn what La Nación is. I'd only heard its name. So Carlos Pagni didn't even have to go to prison. That's not too cool. He's a criminal.
The most moderate, La Razón, has been muffled, I'd guess, by being bought out. What a shame.
I can see why Lidia Papaleo might want to move away from the country after it has been returned to the control of the fascists who did her so much harm. They really can't be trusted, and I would think she wouldn't want them to have any power over her life again.

I had to look up more information on this lady. It had stuck in my mind to wonder if the fascists had killed her husband, some how. (I remember so well reading Colombian paramilitaries used to approach campesino owners of their families' ancestral land, and demand they sell them the land for a pittance. The owners, after refusing, were always told that, "That's OK. We can discuss it with your widow." That was a widely used weapon to get the land for absolutely nothing.)
Here is the google translation of an article on Lidia Papaleo for non-Spanish-reading posters:
Lidia Papaleo: "Magnetto told me there was no choice but to sell newsprint were losing life or my daughter and I."
To testify in the trial against twenty repressors for crimes against humanity committed in clandestine detention centers Circuit Camps, including Vasco Since, where she was detained, Lidia Papaleo Graiver related threats in 1976 he made Hector Magnetto to force to sell the company and said he will never forget his intimidating stare.
the building of the newspaper The Nation, (Hector) Magnetto threatened me and my daughter (Maria Sol Graiver). He told me there was no choice," said the widow of David Graiver, and then added that his daughter was two and half. Lidia began by recalling that her husband died "in an accident caused" the August 7, 1976, when she and the girl were in Mexico. "We returned to Argentina on September 6, 1976, and thereafter, we received personal threats and group calling and personal, of sorts, where we were told we had to sell newsprint and we had to sell the business people Argentine and were not Jewish. "
Papaleo thus began to tell the appropriation of Papel Prensa, suffered during the military dictatorship. He recalled that a month and a half before his death her husband, a Mexican friend, Gabriel Alarcon, said, "David, you sell newsprint that will cost you your life." "I do not know what it was newsprint, and that night I asked (to David), and reassured me saying that in Argentina Alarcon thought things were handled as in Mexico," he said. He also explained that "when I went to wake woman (Francisco) Manrique, who died of an asthma attack, he also advised me to sell newsprint soon."
Finally he recounted what happened the night of November 2, 1976, when summoned to the offices of the Nation, along with parents and brother David Graiver. "It was a big room, first David's parents were, on the other hand, Isidoro, some were reunited with Mitre and others Campos Carles, I do not remember, and I was elsewhere with (Hector) Magnetto". "I remember their threats to me and my daughter, I remember his eyes, said we should sign or life would lose my daughter or I were death threats."
Graiver's widow recalled that after signing the transfer of shares, speaking with "a man of Clarin, a lawyer named Sofovich" he told Clarin "had passed to Mrs. Ernestina de Noble and advised me me out of the country that same day. " He said that Gainza Paz "was the intermediary, who brought the three daily buyers of newsprint." "He told me to leave the port, do not even go back to my house, to commission someone to drive me things that never return to my house and outside the country," he added.
In early March 1977 was arrested Juan Graiver, father of David, and on March 14 of that year, her. "From the first day I arrived at Vasco Since tortured and ill-treated me more than anyone else," he recalled. He said "I was beaten, spat upon, tortured and ejaculated over, but rather encompass this in abuse and not give more details," whereupon the Federal Court 1 of La Plata, chaired by Carlos Rozanski, proposed him to extend the claim without public or media.
Papaleo, who was detained until April 7 in Vasco Since then went through other detention until it was made available to the Executive. It was released on July 24, 1982 after being tried by a court-martial. He said that on one occasion he was taken from Vasco Since the shares sold to the newspaper La Opinion, kept in the house of a family friend named Sajer, which was ransacked.
Graiver's widow identified two of his torturers as Cozzani Norberto Rojas and another name, and said that the latter had a more temporizing while Cozzani profile was violent. He recalled that shared captivity with several people working in businesses of her husband as "Fanjul and Lidia Silvia Angarola, an accountant named Bongani, a lawyer, and a man named Tur". "I amputated six years old and six years of the life of my daughter," complained Lidia Papaleo.

Thanks for the information, again.
