Judges from the National District, La Vega, Santiago and San Francisco de Macorís, sent a note on Tuesday, 2 October 2018 to the president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Mariano Germán Mejía, confirming their support for the letter sent by Servio Tulio Castaños, vice president of Finjus, on the 25 of September 2018 that calls for the dismissal of Soto Sánchez as a representative of the judges as the latter is not a career judge.
