Lawyer suggests TC have a figure that follows up on sentences so that they are fulfilled – El Nuevo Diario (Dominican Republic)

EL NUEVO DIARIO, SANTO DOMINGO.- José Miguel Vásquez García, a lawyer who aspires to be a judge of the Constitutional Court (TC), suggested this Thursday that just as there is a State lawyer and an electoral prosecutor, the high court should have a figure to follow up on sentences so that they are carried out.

“The Constitutional Court should have a figure that acts as a follow-up and ensures that in some way the decisions that come from there are respected and enforceable,” he expressed.

When evaluated by the National Council of the Judiciary (CNM), Vásquez García pointed out that this figure would serve to eliminate what he considered the “Achilles heel” or weak point of the TC, which is the failure to comply with its sentences.

He also proposed that even though the TC has achieved honors and merits, all its members must continue preparing.

Prior to these statements, the lawyer detailed his academic life and assured that if he is elected as a member of the TC he will take his achievements to the judicial body.

Finally, he explained that the administrative litigation jurisdiction and electoral jurisdiction, where the administrative jurisdiction operates between the State and individuals and institutions of the State, while the electoral jurisdiction resolves electoral and party matters.
