The president of the Supreme Court of Justice remained mute when the ruling for the assessment of judges was openly violated by Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez during the latter’s participation in the Monday, 4 March 2019 session. Several days later, Supreme Court of Justice president Mariano Germán Mejía would announce that the matter would be discussed in the Wednesday, 13 March session of the National Council of the Magistracy.
Germán Mejía said his opinion would be given behind the closed doors of the council. “As president of the Supreme Court of Justice and as a person who respects our institutions, I deeply lament what has happened and our position will be presented during the next meeting of the National Council of the Magistracy (CNM). The CNM is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to discuss the recusal of Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez as a Supreme Court of Justice juror and that he may not have a vote in her bid to continue as a Supreme Court of Justice judge.
El Dia reported that in addition to the recusal, judge Miriam Germán Brito also sent a letter to the president of the Supreme Court of Justice on the allowing of the violation. El Dia publishes on 11 March the key accusations by Rodríguez and evidence disputing these.
See the questioning at minute 17:45 minutes, and Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez assessment as of 52:40 minutes.
