Argentina: Milei's Supreme Court Appointments by Decree Face Controversy

Argentinian President Javier Milei has bypassed Congress to appoint Manuel García-Mansilla and Ariel Lijo to the Supreme Court by decree. This decision aims to fill vacancies and normalise the court's function, as Milei's office claims the Senate has stalled the nominations. The appointments are "provisional" until the end of the next legislative period, but the Senate can still reverse the decree. The move has sparked controversy, with critics deeming it unconstitutional and raising concerns about Lijo's past. Milei's government defends the action by citing constitutional authority and Senate inaction. Both nominees have notable backgrounds, with Lijo having handled sensitive cases and García-Mansilla being a constitutional law expert, however the Senate is responsible for either approving or rejecting the nominations based on an assessment of suitability.
