The Partido Revolucionario Dominicano announced it would enter recourses attesting to the unconstitutional nature of the recently passed Judicial Career Law before the Supreme Court and the Chamber of Deputies. Likewise, the leading opposition party said it would enter a bill to reform the Judicial Career Law, the Supreme Court of Justice, and the National School of the Magistracy. Also opposing the Judicial Career Law as promulgated by the President, are more than 40 national organizations. On grounds that their lack of immovability affects the independence of the judges, these complain that the promulgating of the bill is a step backwards in the process of judicial reform. Among the organizations that protest the passing of the bill, are the Fundación Institucionalidad y Justicia, Asociación Nacional de Jóvenes Empresarios, Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra, the Law School of the state university (UASD) and the Consejo Nacional de la Empresa Privada. They all allege that the law is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic. The President of the Supreme Court of Justice, Dr. Jorge Subero Isa said that despite the passing of the bill, there is no force in the nation that will impede them from maintaining their independence of judgment.
