Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti were criticized for the ruling that overturned an injunction and enabled Javier Milei's Necessary and Urgent Decree (DNU), under which the limits on the sale of land to foreigners established in the land law no longer apply.

Yesterday, almost in parallel with a statement from the Court defending its position, a protest took place at the Le Village hotel in San Martín de los Andes, where the magistrates were gathered. The protest was promoted by the state workers' union ATE and the Frente Patria Grande group, linked to Kirchnerism. There were banners and posters against the judges, accused of being "homeland sellers." Rosenkrantz said today that one must have "the fortitude to withstand criticism of one's rulings." He did so after sectors of the opposition questioned the decision and after the Supreme Court itself issued a statement that would have been pushed by the other two justices, Rosatti and Lorenzetti. The protest outside the Hotel Le Village in San Martín de los Andes against the Supreme Court justices Gustavo Castaing Yesterday's statement reads: "The National Supreme Court of Justice, continuing its plain language policy, addresses public opinion in order to clear up doubts that have arisen regarding the ruling issued in the case 'Cecim v. the National Government.'" It notes, first, that in the case "only a procedural aspect was decided, which concerns the standing of an association to obtain an injunction," and says that the Court's ruling "strictly conforms" to all of the court's precedents. Banners and messages against the Court justices following the ruling that enables the sale of land to foreigners without limits Gustavo Castaing Although it circulated as a statement from the Supreme Court, in Rosenkrantz's chambers they told LA NACIÓN that this justice did not participate in or consent to the drafting or dissemination of that material. The text states that "the ruling does not affect other injunctions with the same purpose that are pending in various courts" and that "it does not prevent any person who considers the land legal regime unconstitutional from requesting an injunction, whose admissibility will be decided by a competent judge." And it adds: "Interest groups that pressure on this issue can also resort to judicial claims, which, in a democracy, is more appropriate than promoting hate speech and disparagement on social media." For next Tuesday, the two wings of the CTA called a protest at the Palace of the Courts under the slogan "the homeland is not for sale, sovereignty is not surrendered." The CGT, meanwhile, has not yet defined a common position and maintains its protest for Thursday the 8th "in defense of national industry," which targets the Secretariat of Industry.
