President Balaguer also spoke about the crisis that affects Dominican justice. He said, “No man nor people can live without trustworthy justice, a justice that guarantees the most elemental rights,” thereby urging Congress to advance on the selection of the judges that will form the Consejo Nacional de la Magistratura. Dominican justice is at its all-time low. In his 1994 address to the nation, President Balaguer had recommended the leaving of the choosing of the Consejo Nacional de la Magistratura, whose principal mission is to reorganize and eliminate corruption in Dominican justice, to the new government.
