Argentina: PJ backs Arias for electoral judge; juecismo questions independence

Argentina's Peronist bloc (PJ) secured majority support, including from UCR, for the nomination of Arias as electoral judge, a move contested by the 'juecismo' faction which questions his ties to Peronism and warns of compromised electoral independence ahead of the 2027 elections. The dispute signals political maneuvering over judicial impartiality in a key electoral role.
