PAN and MC will not attend the judicial draw in the Senate; They make a mistake, says Noroña

”The so-called reform of the Judiciary does not seek to improve the justice system, its purpose is to capture it and put an end to the division of powers,” he explained.

As a whole, his parliamentary group explained that the deadlines established in the electoral process are extremely short compared to the number of positions to be elected and the number of applicants.

”The National Electoral Institute (INE) is also left with legal gaps and without sufficient budget for the organization of the electoral process, which compromises its professionalism and efficiency.”

The MC senators expressed their solidarity with all the people who work in the Judiciary, whose workers maintain the work stoppage.

Marko Cortés, leader of the PAN, said that they cannot validate a process that is flawed from its origin, that has a definitive suspension and is challenged in the Supreme Court.

”This process lacks all guarantees of equity for all participants,” he stated.

The president of the Chamber of Senators, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, said in an interview with journalist Risco that it is a mistake for the opponents not to attend, because alone they become “inconsequential.”

This Saturday, October 12 at 9:00 a.m., the Senate will hold a tombola to determine which positions for Circuit magistrates and District judges will be put to a direct vote in June 2025.
