On its 34th birthday, NOTICIAS Magazine wanted to recognize those who worked on the reform of the Constitution that has governed us since 1994.
A rare example of debate between the different political parties that resulted in consensus and allowed new rights, norms and control bodies to be incorporated into the Magna Carta for the defense of democracy.
Horacio Rosatti, Juan Carlos Maqueda, Jorge Yoma, Eduardo Valdés, Horacio Massaccesi, Elva Roulet, Enrique Paixao, Eduardo Barcesat and Juan Pablo Cafiero took the stage, representing that plurality.
“There are people here who are very relevant and I would like to listen to them, but I want to recognize NOTICIAS magazine and Fontevecchia, who are paying tribute,” said Yoma, the first to speak. And he added: “This act should be taking place on the premises, in a legislative assembly and with deputies and senators from all political forces, reaffirming the democratic pact. There is a stunning silence about the political system. This, which we did not do, we is replacing NEWS”.
In the second turn, Rosatti said: “In Santa Fe we met in 1994, that is why it is special for me. I am very honored by this distinction. The ’94 reform was the last act of political greatness that involved all Argentine political actors “We had enormous differences in thought, but one objective, national unity, was in the preamble.”
“We know that many things divide us, but there are others, the most important, those that unite us. I do not want any special title for the media tomorrow. I only remember what the Constitution says. You cannot say anything about Malvinas. We voted for it. They cannot be rented, they cannot be sold, because we said so in the Constitution. And the clause is temporary because we believe that we are going to recover the Malvinas,” said Rosatti. And he added: “And when we talk about the defense of the currency, it is in the Constitution. What happens is that you have to read it.”
“We must enforce the Constitution. We do it from the Judiciary and that is why we demand the independence of the Judiciary,” Rosatti concluded.
