The Minister of the Presidency, Cesar Pina Toribio, reported yesterday that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ), Jorge Subero Isa, would be leaving the country in a few days, forcing a delay in the convocation of the National Council of Magistrates (CNM). The CNM needs to meet to choose the new judges of the Supreme Court of Justice itself, and the judges of the Constitutional and Higher Electoral courts.
According to Diario Libre, Pina Toribio added: "It will be then, after he (Subero) comes back, and no, I am not giving you any date, please, as to when the convocation might come about. Regarding the agenda, this will be determined by the CNM itself, and it is obvious that the first steps, according to my estimates, are that they approve the internal regulations for the functioning of the Council". Pina Toribio said that the work of the CNM itself should now get started and President Leonel Fernandez is interested in doing this. The dates of Subero's absence were not reported.
