The National Council of the Magistracy will meet on 13 September, convened by President Hipolito Mejia. Guido Gomez Mazara, legal advisor to the President, said the three new judges on the Supreme Court will be chosen with transparency. Diario Libre explains that the PRSC allied with the PRD, giving the ruling party dominance in the Supreme Court. The newspaper says that Supreme Court Justice Jorge Subero Isa’s decision to take retired General Constantino Matos to court provoked the ire of former President Joaquin Balaguer, decision-maker for the PRSC, leading him to support the PRD.
