SD. The Attorney General of the Republic, foundations such as Institutionalism and Justice (Finjus) and Justice and Transparency (FJT) all gave their total support yesterday to the proposal by the chief magistrate of the Constitutional Tribunal (TC), Milton Ray Guevara, which called for the creation of a National Strategic Plan for the Justice sector.
Francisco Dominguez Brito said that he is totally in agreement with the need to discuss the new wave of reforms within the Justice sector.
"Because of this we support these statements," he stressed, after adding that Justice has to start to discuss some points within the new wave.
He cited the bureaucracy, which in his judgment is creating a lot of judicial expenses and delays. He said that he felt that they should continue with a penal reform, with the Penal Code and the Penal Process Code as part of the reform.
He also felt there was a need to complete the prison system, within the new model, and other challenges, such as the police reform and the new Police Law.
Servio Tulio Castaño Guzman, the executive vice-president of Finjus, and Trajano Vidal Potentini, of the FJT, were in favor of this plan that would manage, completely, all of the Justice sectors, but above all, with the state, so that it commits to providing the resources that such a reform would require.
"We back the proposal by Ray Guevara on the understanding that a systemic and complete focus is given to the problem of justice....we can no longer continue passing the ball from one to another and asking whose fault it is, but rather give it this focus that takes us all to play our role," said Vidal Potentini, who argued for a strong national crusade in favor of this strategic plan.
For his part, Castaño Guzman recalled that the suggestion that the magistrate from the TC is making, is a demand that has been around for some time and from different sectors.
"I believe that it an opportune occasion for all of the sectors to come together and analyze the problems that exist jointly, and design the reformation and the public policies that are implied by such a reform."
He warned that the reform was not limited to the content of the rules and that its implementation requires money. In this sense, he demanded that the state provide the resources that will be needed for the new rules to be efficient.
