Experts Dismiss Laura Fernández's Claims Against Constitutional Chamber as 'Irresponsible'

Constitutional lawyers and political scientists have strongly refuted allegations made by Laura Fernández, labeling her claims of a 'judicial coup d'état' as 'irresponsible,' 'incendiary,' and 'unfounded.' These experts argue that the magistrates of the Constitutional Chamber are not overstepping their bounds by attempting to replace the functions of the Legislative Assembly. Instead, they assert that the Chamber's actions are within its constitutional mandate. The legal and political analysts emphasized that Fernández's accusations lack factual basis and are inflammatory in nature. They clarified that the judiciary's role is to interpret the constitution and ensure the rule of law, which may sometimes involve reviewing legislative actions or inaction. However, this oversight does not equate to usurping the legislative power. The experts' statements aim to provide a balanced perspective against what they perceive as politically motivated attacks on the judicial branch. They stressed the importance of respecting the separation of powers and the independent functioning of each branch of government.
