I Watch calls for filling vacancies in judiciary


The “I Watch” organisation has called for vacancies in the judiciary to be filled in order to safeguard the interests of litigants and citizens.

In a statement released on Thursday, the organisation stressed the need to break with the policy of not filling vacancies in state bodies, which it said “allows evasion of accountability and prosecution”.

“I Watch” recalled the vacancies observed since January 2023 in the position of first president of the Court of Auditors and, for 67 days, in the position of first president of the Court of Cassation.

It also criticised the lack of response from the Ministry of Justice, despite being aware of the retirement dates of the first two presidents of the aforementioned courts.
