Caracas, July 24, 2024.- The discussions and proposals continued on Wednesday, July 24, during the second Meeting for a World Social Alternative, taking place at Bolivar Theater of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela.

Lawyer Claudia Rocca, president of the American Association of Jurists from Argentina, opened the panel “Alternative for justice in politics,” a topic that caught the attention of some international delegates attending this event organized by the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) and the Simón Bolívar Institute (ISB).

Rocca expressed that the justice sought by the peoples is one that guarantees equality, as well as the defense and sovereignty of nations. “Without sovereignty, it is not possible to obtain any rights—political, social, or cultural,” she emphasized, as well as she said that it is important to promote integration with other peoples and create new independent judicial powers.

On the other hand, Karina Olivo, a member of the Popular Party of Chile, asserted that the judiciary in each nation must free itself from its role of disciplining divergent thoughts and transformative processes in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Her proposal is for social organizations and progressive regional blocs to promote the transformation of political justice—one that defends human rights and not the powers and governments of the far right.

Laila Tajeldine, a Venezuelan lawyer and representative of the Free Alex Saab Movement, stated that it is indeed possible, with the strength of the peoples, to liberate citizens who have been victims of corrupt judicial systems. “Only a judicial revolution can overthrow lawfare (legal warfare),” she emphasized.

Quoting the commander of the Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chávez, Tajeldine stated that it is essential to drive a transformation of political justice. “Judicial action in countries like Argentina, with (Javier) Milei, hinders the peoples and also threatens Venezuela and other nations in the region,” she denounced.

Finally, Nidia Díaz from the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (El Salvador) considered that currently not only is the struggle on social media relevant, but also the judicial struggle.

“All peoples must prepare for this fight; we must get ready for this historical journey,” Díaz emphasized, who also urged to defeat the imperial strategy that interferes with judicial powers and alters historical narratives.

Díaz denounced that in El Salvador and other countries there is a phenomenon called “judicial hitmen,” against which a battle must also be waged.
