The government of Laura Fernández is facing scrutiny as it criticizes the slow pace of judicial proceedings while simultaneously halting a crucial reform project designed to expedite criminal trials. Despite acknowledging the need for a more efficient justice system, the government has not convened meetings to discuss and implement the necessary changes. This decision raises questions about the administration’s commitment to addressing a significant issue they themselves have highlighted. The stalled reform could potentially exacerbate existing delays in the prosecution of criminal cases. Critics suggest the move is counterproductive, hindering efforts to improve the effectiveness of the courts. The lack of progress on the reform contradicts stated goals of improving the judicial system’s responsiveness. It remains unclear when or if the government will revisit the proposed changes.
