If the prosecutor of the nation, Delia Espinoza falls into a demonstration of power of most of the National Justice Board (Jnj), the Public Ministry He will approach chaos and disgust, and the only ones who will win will be corruption and crime. There will be chaos in the succession and, with it, in the management of the cases and the coordination of the main research subspecialties.
As it has transcended, the Instructor Minister and Jnj vice president, María Teresa Cabrerahas requested the preventive suspension of Espinoza for six months, while the immediate disciplinary process initiated against him is developed for refusing to fulfill the irregular replacement of Patricia Benavides as prosecutor of the nation.
The proposal has not yet been notified. According to sources of The Republicit would seek to match the eventual sanction to Espinoza with the judgment of the Constitutional Court (TC) that archive the Cocktails case. The chaos that this decision will generate in the institution will take away the capacity to respond to the Public Ministry.
Yesterday, the Prosecutor of the Nation declared that it has not yet been notified of Teresa Cabrera’s proposal that circulates in the media. Espinoza has advanced what his defense will be: “If this document is true, The instructor counselor would be committing prevaricato. The TC has said that the immediate disciplinary process is unconstitutional, not legal. In addition, I can not sanction for complying with the Constitution. The JNJ intended to leave my position to deliver it to another person (Patricia Benavides), “he said.
The succession
This assumes that Delia Espinoza will resist the intention of the JNJ to suspend it, probably through an amparo action before the constitutional courts towards the Constitutional Court. In principle, it should be clear that a suspension is not a definitive sanction. Espinoza will have room to resort to Judicial Branchbefore a final sanction, to recover the position in a short time.
Given this reality, the Board of Supreme Prosecutors cannot immediately summon the election of a new prosecutor of the Nation. You have to resort to Succession for unforeseen cause. This implies calling the oldest supreme prosecutor in the appointment and, if he cannot, who follows.

Today, the Supreme Dean prosecutor called to happen to Espinoza, first of all, is the doctor Pablo Sánchez Velarde. He has said many times that he does not want the position, so he is most likely to decline. He did before, when they suspended Patricia Benavidesas prosecutor of the nation. It follows, the second, the doctor Zoraida Ávalos Rivera. She would be willing to assume, but it is clear that a sector of the press and all political power in government and congress will not allow it so easy.
So, you must decide between immolating yourself by the Public Ministrydirect the institution with uncertainty, a rain reports before the JNJ and threats of dismissal, or quickly take a step to the side. To her and this situation, the tweet could be directed than the Supreme Prosecutor Tomás Gálvez Villegas published yesterday on his social networks: “May God give wisdom to all who have to decide!“
The next
If Dr. Ávalos also declines or prevents him from promoting the position, the next, the third in the succession, is Dr. Tomás Gálvez. In his message, Gálvez implies that he does not want to be a fiscal nation in the current circumstances, not almost imposition, although he will try to reach the position in the future, by election. Gálvez knows that a press sector does not want it and will remember the processes discarded by the TC. Therefore, your message. An incomplete message, not being included in the succession.

Behind Gálvez, if he also decides to decline, there is Patricia Benavidesfourth in the line of succession. She if she wants the position, as a repair for her suspension in December 2023. Then, months later, if the definitive departure of Espinoza occurs, elections will only be held to choose a new prosecutor of the titular nation. Then the fight will be between Patricia Benavides, with all the political power behind; Tomás Gálvez and the silent Juan Carlos Villena Campana.
But, between one and another decision, While everyone seeks divine or earthly wisdomthe institution will drift, without a mercy of political power. Then, paraphrasing Vallejo’s poem, it will have to be said: “If the pencils scare you without a point, if the Prosecutor’s Office falls -I say, it is a saying -Salid, children of the world; ID to look for her!… “
