Overview
- López submitted his resignation effective Wednesday, with acceptance still pending.
- The Justice Ministry asked Council president Horacio Rosatti to confirm any open disciplinary cases before ruling on the resignation.
- The Council’s Accusation Commission advanced the case to a full-session vote that could suspend López and send him to a removal trial before the Jury of Impeachment.
- DAIA and the Argentine Forum Against Antisemitism reported 17 posts from September 2024 to July 2025 that they say used antisemitic tropes, including calling Israel “a fraud,” using “Zionist” as an insult, and sharing hostile images tied to Israel.
- López could keep a judicial pension if the government accepts his resignation, while a removal after a jury trial would strip that benefit, making the timing of the council vote versus acceptance decisive.
