The president of the Special Commission in charge of the process of selection of candidates for magistrates of the Constitutional Court (CT), Jose Balcazar (Free Peru), was pronounced after this Tuesday the Plenary Session of Congress elected the six tribunes who replaced those whose mandate had expired.
The parliamentarian accepted that there may be criticism regarding the political positions of the new magistrates, but clarified that this has not prevailed in the working group that he chaired.
“There can be criticism of course because one admires a certain political party, but that has not prevailed in us. Presenting to Congress has prevailed and this in a political act has given this magnificent result. Now I hope that the polls can prove the reason, Parliament can indeed work in consensus and can achieve these results, which are of tremendous importance”, he declared from outside the Legislative Palace.
