The Government approves on Tuesday the creation of 500 new positions for judges and 200 for prosecutors

The government is set to approve the urgent processing of two royal decrees this Tuesday to expand the judicial and prosecutorial workforce. The initiative aims to establish 500 new positions for judges and 200 for prosecutors, with full implementation targeted for 2027. This decision, announced by the Ministry of the Presidency and Justice, represents a significant structural expansion of the legal system.

Separately, in the Dominican Republic, the National Board of the Association of Dominican Prosecutors has formally requested that the 2027 General State Budget allocate 1.44% of internal revenues to the Public Ministry. This request highlights ongoing institutional efforts to secure financial autonomy and resources for the prosecutorial branch, occurring in a distinct administrative context from the workforce expansion measures announced elsewhere.
