Judges believes El Salvador ought to have a new constitution

San Salvador, Aug 20 (Prensa Latina) Aspirants to the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) of El Salvador believe that more than a reform of the current one, Salvadorans should have a new Constitution.

The issue is addressed this Tuesday by the media after the second day of interviews to candidates to the CSJ, in which the deputies of Nuevas Ideas asked about the Constitution, dismissal of magistrates, notaries and probity.

El Mundo newspaper reported that during interviews to six lawyers, five of whom belong to the current Judicial Branch, the topic that is recurrent at times in the local media came up.

Congressman Caleb Navarro asked lawyer and notary Juana Jeanneth Corvera de Meléndez, the first interviewee of this day, about what right she would incorporate into a “constitutional amendment”.

“It is time that our Constitution should not have more reforms, but a new Constitution is needed. We have more than 41 years with a Constitution that notwithstanding it is praiseworthy, it is not fully applicable to our reality, since there are many situations in which it is no longer relevant”, the aspirant indicated.

A new Constitution must respond to new realities “that you also as legislators and connoisseurs of the needs we have as Salvadoran people must incorporate”, she added.
