President Mej?a said that he would not convene the National Council of the
Magistrates with the country immersed in the electoral campaign. To remove
Supreme Court justices now, said Mejia, would not be prudent. He discarded as
rubbish former President Fern?ndez? statement that the move to name new missing
members of the Council was in preparation for the convening of the council to
replace aging and sickly judges with Manuel Ram?n Morel Cerda, Milton Ray
Guevara and Victor Cespedes.
As reported in El Caribe, President Mej?a said that his party already has a
?practically absolute majority? in the Supreme Court of Justice and other
government institutions, contrary to the PLD opposition party.
