MEDIA WATCH: Justice system circles the wagons

Hoyporhoy, La Prensa, Jan,5
EVERYTHING CHANGES to remain the same. Where are the promises of new justicea to restore the credibility of the Supreme Court (CSJ)?

 A presiding judge, highly contested and controversial, has just been re-elected with the vote of his  peers, without any dissimulation, on the first ballot.

This is the same personality who agreed  with  the super immunity shield    of  the National Assembly, which delayed action on Pacific Financial investigation of the case, and many others. whose actions as a prosecutor, and whose actions as director of the Judicial Technical Police, Attorney General’s Office, and judge of the highest court, have caused alarm and disturbance among citizens.

The president of the Supreme Court sets the agenda of the judiciary, and takes political representation thereof, controls the budget, and in the case of Jose Ayu Prado also chairs two rooms.

That’s too much power for two more years. It took five hours for the beautiful speeches in the morning to become the Faustian pacts in the afternoon. The nation had more hope in their new judges.
