		Carlos Menem has been accused, I guess it was in today's papers in Buenos Aires, of having destroyed every institution in the country while he was president save one, and that institution, the electoral system itself, that newspaper accused him of destroying on this day.

		He accused Menem of jeopardizing the party's chances in 1999 by not stopping efforts to promote his re-election, and said if the Supreme Court allows the president to run again, it will be a "judicial coup." Recent polls put Menem's approval rating at its lowest since his first election in 1989.
		Menem had significant popular support when the Constitution was amended in 1994, since he was riding a wave of approval for economic policies that had cut the bottom out of inflation.
		Menem allies are also arguing that Menem's first term was under the "old" Constitution, thus the limit to one re- election still gives him the right to run again.

		Under the former government of President Carlos Menem, senators from both the Peronist and Radical parties allegedly received "delightful personal favours in exchange for their votes." But this latest scandal was a "severe crisis which threatens to destabilise the institutions of Argentine democracy," La Nacion warned.
		But the Menem years were plagued by corruption scandals and it was an open secret that large sums of money changed hands at all levels of government.
		Judge Carlos Liporaci has asked the senate to strip eight lawmakers of their congressional immunity from prosecution, stating he has “coherent, grave and precise evidence that bribes were paid.” It is alleged the Peronist senators accepted bribes to approve labor market reforms in April.(CNN, September 1,2000, summary by Michelle Little).

		Menem hoped that a strong showing by Cafiero would enable him to play a decisive role in the July 4 primary to select the PJ presidential candidate.
		Many thought a Cafiero victory might even have encouraged Menem to resume his efforts to run for a third term, which is prohibited by the Constitution.
		The administration dismisses the connection, and Menem accuses the Alianza of "confusing the dignity of poverty with the pathology of crime." The Alianza in turn accuses the PJ of "returning to the darkest periods in our country's history" with bills proposing draconian powers for the police.
