- Speaking in Córdoba at the opening of the XXV Encuentro de Jueces de Tribunales Orales, Horacio Rosatti said Supreme Court jurisprudence will always defend freedom of expression, private property and individual guarantees.
- He pledged to protect judicial independence, stressing that the Judiciary will not act against the other branches yet will proceed with firmness and without spectacularity.
- Rosatti criticized “malos ejemplos” within the courts, saying such conduct drags down the daily work that sustains institutional credibility.
- Without naming him, he appeared to allude to Judge Alejandro Maraniello’s precautionary order halting dissemination through any media of audios attributed to Karina Milei, issued in the context of government allegations of illegal espionage.
