--and I have been facing different governments since 1988. Provea was formally funded on October 1, 1988, and on October 29 we had the first massacre that I had to give attention to.
If we compare this government against the Constitution, I think things are worse than they were before--for different reasons. First, as I was saying, there was a trend to ensure that career judges were increased and that eventually all the positions would be covered by career judges. Now that trend has reverted to a point that is even worse than when we started the moratorium in 1988.
As I said, you can have human rights violations anywhere, but a key point, in my view, is that if you don't have an independent judiciary, then you don't have the means to correct human rights violations. In that respect the situation is becoming more difficult than it was before.
