THE PERSISTENCE of the presiding judge of the Supreme Court in  leaving   his  important post for banal travel  demonstrates his concept of justice.

His judicial tourism has forced the vice president of the Supreme Court to present the draft of the judiciary budget to the National Assembly.

His deputy, an experienced public magistrate , has had to assume his  duties, leaving his own  and increasing  further the workload of scarce public mahistrates  in the country. Remember that Jose Ayu Prado occupies three positions simultaneously in the Court, and that every day is one more day missing for overdue criminal and, constitutional cases, and international procedures that need  his  knowledge.

If at this point, the lucky traveler does not understand the importance of his duties, he may opt for resignation, and allow justice to function normally.
