Buenos Aires Mayor Anibal Ibarra has been removed from office after exactly two-thirds of the Sala Juzgadora, the legislative judicial council set up to conduct a political trial, voted against him. The body of city deputies found him culpable for lapses in municipal control leading to a Dec. 30, 2004, nightclub fire that killed 194 people. Ibarra characterized the decision as "an institutional coup" orchestrated by his political enemies, while a majority of family members of the deceased celebrated the decision to remove him.
