NewzAlejandro Ramelli, magistrate and president of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), warned that a proposed budget cut of 185,000 million pesos for the year 2027 would severely compromise the institution's operations. Specifically, the reduction would jeopardize public hearings, the protection of victims and participants, the safety of officials, and the overall functioning of the tribunal.
Ramelli cautioned that the severity of the budget reduction would effectively reduce the judicial body to what he described as an "internet court," undermining its physical presence and capacity to safely carry out its mandated transitional justice proceedings.
