“As I already said, the Attorney General’s Office is an entity, an institution, it is not centered or concentrated on people. In such a way that, any person, any prosecutor can exercise the Attorney General’s Office, as an entity it continues. In this case, I am still there. Surely, the JNJ, now, tomorrow or the day after, I don’t know exactly will make the corresponding decision, but I have already said it, there is no problem, the work continues,” he stated.
As is public knowledge, on the last Monday the 13th of this month, the Ninth Constitutional Court of the Judiciary declared founded the precautionary measure that Espinoza presented against the suspension against him by the JNJ for not having replaced Patricia Benavides as prosecutor of the Nation last June. In addition to that, the judicial system gave a period of 5 business days for the National Board of Justice replenish Delia Espinoza in his position. However, the president of the JNJ, Gino Riosreported that the decision will be appealed.
In this context, Gálvez assured that he still does not have official notification to reinstate his colleague in the institution he temporarily directs. “The Prosecutor’s Office has not yet been notified. (…) I don’t know, as soon as they notify me we will welcome Dr. Delia Espinoza,” responded the head of the interim Public Ministry when asked if today he would stop being the head of the institution.
Meanwhile, the supreme prosecutor said he did not know the reasons for the JNJ’s delay in complying with the decision of the Judiciary. For his part, he only managed to indicate that “the National Prosecutor’s Office continues to work with me, with Delia, we continue.”
They warn that JNJ would seek to fail to reinstate Delia Espinoza as prosecutor of the Nation
In an interview with The RepublicDelia Espinoza’s former lawyer, Martin Salaspointed out that it is speculated that the National Board of Justice (JNJ) could be drafting a resolution that would only partially comply with the court order.
“(The JNJ) would be seeking to obtain a context that prevents Mrs. Delia Espinoza from joining within the period stipulated by the Judiciary to carry out her duties as prosecutor of the Nation,” warned Salas.
Martín Salas highlighted that the JNJ would be releasing documents without justification or foundation, violating fundamental rights. This could indicate that the entity is seeking to replace Delia Espinoza as supreme prosecutor, instead of restoring her to her position as prosecutor of the Nation.
