In this sense, This Thursday, the Commission “will analyze the admissibility report to determine if it is appropriate to start the trial period of the investigation”as Gaillard herself explained.
The Frente de Todos is confident that admissibility will be obtained, since it has a majority in the Commission with 16 of 31 members. From Together for Change, for its part, it is expected that they will reject the request, as they have stated so far.
If the admissibility is approved, the process will continue with the stage of collecting evidence and testimony to decide whether to issue an opinion, with which the investigation would be taken to court to determine the future of the judges.
