Argentine President Alberto Fernández launched a judicial reform proposal yesterday. The bill the executive will send to congress this week would increase the number of federal courts from 12 to 46, a move aimed at diluting the power of federal judges who are widely perceived to wield their power with political motivation. Corruption investigations into former government officials are tainted by accusations of political persecution.
