The president of the Senate, José García Ruminot, described the inauguration of the Judicial Year as “a republican ceremony” and a “solid public account”, where the president of the Supreme Court, Ricardo Blanco, acknowledged that “the year 2024 was complex for the highest court”, following cases of dismissals that affected two ministers.
"These are republican ceremonies and it is good that the different institutions give a public account to the citizens regarding the tasks of the previous year, the pending challenges and, above all, having stated with such conviction that the task of the Judiciary is to deliver quality and timely justice," said Senator García Ruminot.
He added that "one sees a judiciary throughout the country with 1,700 judges who are dedicated to this fundamental task for democracy."
"As citizens who are affected turn to the courts and obtain responses within the framework of the law, adherence to the rule of law develops and is enforced, and it gives peace of mind to all institutions and compatriots," said the Senate President.
