Tomás Gálvez, the new Attorney General, stated that his term, which will last until 2029, will not allow for political persecution and will focus on reforming the Public Ministry. This proposal was presented to Congress on March 13 and will be supported tomorrow. In a recent interview, Gálvez emphasized the need to modernize the organic law of the Public Ministry, which he described as “totally obsolete.” The prosecutor criticized colleagues who oppose the reform, accusing them of treating their offices as a “fiefdom.” “There are prosecutors who do not want the MP to change because they have become accustomed to their power,” Gálvez expressed.
He also assured that the reform aims to ensure that investigations are conducted solely with objective elements, as the current regulations allow prosecutors to act at their discretion, which, according to him, has led to abuses. On the other hand, prosecutors from the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office against Organized Crime have expressed their disagreement with Gálvez’s proposal. In a report, they indicated that the proposed modifications could undermine the immovability of prosecutors and affect the quality of service they must provide to society. They requested an urgent meeting to discuss their observations and elevate them to the Attorney General.
