How many legal experts, today high authorities or judges in various functions, were students of Dr. Julio César Trujillo Vasquez, a famous lawyer, academician, defender of social causes and above all a great man, an honest and impeccable public man in all functions he performed.

In honor of his thought and human behavior, let their actions respect his career in accordance with the Law he instilled in them. One of the rare beings associated with politics and public life who died as he was born. Without stealing a cent. He died at a very old age (88 years old), due to health problems, but never as a thief, such as there are today in the homeland and other fugitives abroad. The man who, because of his impeccable career, was elected to the Truth Commission and then asked him to be the state attorney, which he never accepted, and today they themselves are in charge of insulting him with an adjective from the time of Trujillato’s crimes, which they want to overthrow in an unconstitutional and illegal way , evidently the patience of the despondent. This is human misery.

To dismiss or not to dismiss the members of the Council for Citizen Participation, analysis by ‘amicus curiae’ sent to the Constitutional Court

Today, they promote a current that attacks until the complete institutional destruction, what little is left, that seeks impunity, in the face of both the patience of the citizens and the cowardice of the government, which should act in search of justice.

For this reason, they are undertaking a campaign aimed at discrediting and promoting proceedings against the Attorney General who had the courage to prosecute the untouchables. They are launching a campaign against the president of the National Court of Justice, who was one of the national judges who convicted them in one of the symbolic cases (bribery) and who represents an obstacle to their goals of impunity.

The Constitutional Court refuses access to Alembert Vera’s father and agrees to hear Diana Salazar about compliance with the verdict

In front of such a panorama, there remains at least one institution that would have to firmly and timely, without hesitation, assume its role of monitoring and defending the constitutional judiciary against so many obvious abuses by at least two institutions: the Council for Citizen Participation and the majority of those who make up the administrative and disciplinary body of the judiciary, prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

The Constitutional Court has the obligation to apply constitutional and legal norms, without political or electoral calculations and flattery, until it sees what will happen with the presidential definition or composition of the new convocation of the Assembly. It must without delay apply or postpone the full weight of the law against those who mock the country and now want to justify unjustifiably going against the express norms and resolutions that are protected not only by the CC but also by the people’s mandate expressed in the 2018 elections. Failure would set a terrible precedent so that the possibility remains that they disrespect everyone, do whatever they want and make a mockery of the legal system, when there is evidence that the controversy being litigated is not constitutional. The Constitutional Court must remember that it is the guarantor of fundamental rights and cannot allow further mockery of the legislation in order to get out of the problem. (OR)
