Political consensus in justice?

Huchi Lora / Listin Diario

TV journalist Huchi Lora blasted out at new president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Luis Henry Molina, for his first remarks upon being sworn in at the Presidency on Monday, 8 April 2019. Lora was especially critical to the comment by Molina that he would seek “political consensus and social agreement” in his work. Lora said: “All the justice has to do is do justice, not reach any agreements.”

Molina is highly regarded for his track record in former government positions (National Judicial School, Center for Export & Investment, and Dominican Telecommunications Institute, as well as Presidency Vice Minister). Yet opponents to his being elected president of the Supreme Court of Justice had pointed to his militancy as a strong campaigner for the presidencies of President Danilo Medina and his membership in the Central Committee of the ruling PLD.
