Conarg in the media[]
According to La Voz del Interior (Córdoba): "The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights will intervene in an old lawsuit that affects the province of Córdoba, sued by more than 200 million pesos by ex-owners of the vanished road machine factory Conarg Sociedad Anonymous This is a trial in which a millionaire indemnity is claimed for the bankruptcy and auction of the company Conarg SA, which in 1975 -during the management of the controller Raúl Lacabanne- was acquired by the Provincial Highway at a low price.
Law issues[]
The judicial process, initiated several years ago, went through all instances and reached the Superior Court of Justice, which in 2004 annulled a ruling of the 4th Chamber of Appeals in Civil and Commercial Matters, which had admitted the complaint and condemned the Province to pay more than 200 million pesos. At the time, the Chamber criticized the actions of officials, trade unionists and magistrates, attributing to them that they had acted in favor of the provincial government's intentions to stay with the company. However, the Superior Court annulled this ruling and highlighted the existence of "res judicata", which prevented the situation from being modified, because at the time the operation that concluded with the award of the company to Provincial Road was not questioned. In addition, he said that the tender was regular and the buyer, Provincial Road, was the only bidder, for a price higher than the value stipulated by the judge of the bankruptcy". The ruling of the Superior Court was challenged by the former owners, who filed an extraordinary appeal that was denied by the highest judicial body of the Province. This motivated those affected to go directly to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation in complaint, but this appeal was declared inadmissible, without giving reasons for the rejection, as authorized by articles 280 and 285 of the Civil and Commercial Procedure Code of the Nation. Faced with this situation, considering that the decision of the Court violates human rights, because it is inconceivable that a Court is authorized by law to say "no" without grounds, the plaintiffs appeared before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, based in Washington, in an action against the National State.
Bankruptcy and close down[]
The claim also covers the entire process that the company Conarg SA went through and that led to its bankruptcy and liquidation, with all that it meant as a company and a source of work for more than 800 people, especially considering that it was a pioneer factory in the country in the production of all kinds of road machines. Among the arguments put forward in the presentation made by one of the former owners of Conarg SA, Jaime Isaac Steinschraber, it is stated that since 1963 there was discrimination against the company because its directors were mostly Jews, which hampered the granting of credits by Banco Industrial, chaired by José Luis Cantilo. In the submission before the Commission, with the sponsorship of the lawyer Fabián Díaz Robledo, the annulment of the Court's decision was called for "denial of justice", and also that of the Superior Court of Córdoba, because it confirmed what the former owners they considered it was a dispossession perpetrated by the Province, to the detriment of the owners and staff".
