Description
Este artículo hace referencia a los acontecimientos que rodearon primeramente, la noreelección del magistrado constitucional Fernando Cruz Castro y posteriormente, su reelección,en noviembre de 2012. El suceso, tratado en su momento como un hecho insólitoy sin precedentes, es interpretado en este artículo como una expresión conspicua de lainstitucionalidad y del sistema político que han tomando forma en los últimos 30 años, enel curso del llamado proceso de apertura, cuyo norte es el mercado y al mismo tiempo, unaventana adicional para observar la erosión del sistema de división de poderes establecido enla Constitución de 1949.
This article deals with the events surrounding both, the non re-election and the reelectionof the constitutional judge Fernando Cruz Castro, on November 2012. The eventwas treated as an unprecedented and unique situation. However, in this article it is seenas a conspicuous expression of our institutional order and our political system, which havebeen shaped during the last thirty years, throughout the market opening process. At thesame time, it can be taken as an additional window through which we can observe the erosionof the separation of powers established in the Constitution of 1949.
