Hernán Lombardi, Sabrina Ajmechet, Karina Bachey, José Nuñez, Emmanuel Bianchetti, Florencia De Sensi y Patricia Vasquez.

The bill also adds a lifelong ban from holding public office for those who commit gender violence or rape (even when there is a conviction in a second instance court). “It is necessary to evaluate the privileges granted based on the conviction reached in the judicial sphere,” the legislators argue in their arguments.

Another similar project
In parallel, Damian Arabiaa PRO deputy, promoted another project in the same sense, which incorporates other criteria. “I presented a bill so that from now on the life pension of Presidents and Vice Presidents convicted of crimes is removed. And also so that it is provisionally suspended in the event of criminal prosecution. It is not a retirement, it is a privilege,” explained the legislator.
Unlike Giudici’s text, Saudi proposes that these privileges be removed through legal proceedings. In addition, it does not include the withdrawal of custody as does his colleague’s article. Both were in contact and decided to promote the two projects. They aim to work together in the commissions to generate a unified document.
