The five members of the Judicial Power Evaluation Committee resigned from their positions after the committee became embroiled in a conflict of functions that impeded its proper functioning. This committee was halted by the judicial committee when they received two contradictory judicial decisions: one ordering them to stop the evaluation of candidates and another urging them to proceed with the process.
In light of this situation, the committee decided to go to the Supreme Court to resolve the conflict of competencies. However, subsequently, the Electoral Tribunal issued a new ruling ordering the Senate to complete the work of the evaluation committee.
The committee members, Wilfrido Castañón León, Mónica González Contró, Emma Meza Fonseca, Hortencia María Emilia Molina de la Puente, and Luis Enrique Pereda Trejo, submitted their resignations immediately and irrevocably, citing the legal impossibility of continuing with the assigned task despite their initial conviction that their work would be crucial to ensuring the election of capable professionals in the Judicial Power process.
In their resignation letter, they expressed their gratitude to the ministers and the support team for their commitment, but acknowledged the infeasibility of fulfilling the assigned constitutional task. They expressed their commitment to continue working for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.
