“Peace Thursdays should really be those in charge of the administration of justice,” said the president of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, this Tuesday during the second discussion of the Organic Law of Communal Peace Justice.
In his opinion, the Legislative Branch must create all the necessary mechanisms so that the cellular structure of the justice system is replaced by the system of justices of the peace.
Rodríguez insisted on the need to protect “as much as possible” the instance of justices of the peace with respect to other forms of the administration of justice that have proven in many aspects “to be inefficient in their function of administering justice,” he stated.
He commented that in the context of the second discussion of the reform of the Organic Law of Communal Peace Justice, which dates back to 2012, the previous state of things is being corrected and replaced “not completely, but it replaces the state current situation of the administration of justice in the particular sphere of justices of the peace.

He indicated that, once the norm is promulgated by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, it has to be applied and the deputies have to monitor and be guarantors of its compliance, “because there are many possibilities of cheating and deception and shelving,” he warned. .
“When we sanction this law and raise our hands, we become co-responsible for the law and ensure that it is applied and insist (…) that anything with the justices of the peace, that the lawyer does so; Put that lawyer in prison, let him go to the justices of the peace,” he stressed.
In this same order and in the process of the debate, the president of the AN proposed the reform of article 48 of the law “to prevent other jurisdictional bodies from appearing by magic… and then the claim, the The previous article said that (the matter is being previously heard by another jurisdictional body) then the justice of the peace failed,” said Rodríguez.
In this way, the new text of article 48 will say the following: “the special jurisdiction of the communal justice of the peace is understood to be exhausted when there is a definitively firm ruling on the controversial matter, which will be reformed by the deputies,” read the secretary. of parliament.
