The NGO assured that its position is due to the fact that the members of the National Council of the Magistracy (CNM) chose a single woman among the five judges of the TSE, contrary to the previous conformation of the latter body, which had two women.
The entity said in a statement that the Constitution establishes that “the State must promote and guarantee the balanced participation of women and men in the candidacies for the positions of popular election for the instances of direction and decision in the public sphere, in the administration of justice and in the control organisms of the State ».
For the movement, the CNM decision represents a «setback» in terms of protecting the right to gender equality in the democratic system and violates the provisions that the same court is called upon to enforce.
“Although the new judges of the TSE are people with suitability for the position, within the contestants there were multiple women with ample merits, credentials and skills to be selected and thus fulfill the mandate of the Constitution having a more inclusive look that allows the cultural changes that society needs, «added PC.
The titular judges of the TSE are Ygnacio Pascual Camacho Hidalgo, who chairs it, Juan Alfredo Biaggi Lama, Rosa Fior D ‘Aliza Pérez de García, Pedro Pablo Yermenos Forastieri and Fernando Fernández Cruz.
The alternates are Juan Bautista Cuevas Medrano, Hermenegilda del Rosario Fondeur Ramírez, Juan Manuel Martín Garrido Campillo, Lourdes Teresa de Jesús Salazar Rodríguez and Francisco Eugenio Cabrera Mata.
