TC magistrate on the ‘wall of shame’: “Justice is for everyone”
The decision of the current burgomaster of the La Molina district, Diego Uceda, is not to demolish the construction that separates his district from Villa María del Triunfo (this divides Las Casuarinas with Pamplona Alta, to be exact). The mayor pointed out that he will maintain it to protect the Molinense properties from land traffickers.
In view of this, the magistrate of the Constitutional Court, Gustavo Gutiérrez, expressed his rejection of the mayor’s defense, and pointed out that he “does not have all the information on the case.” “Certainly, it is a terrible message that an authority intends to disobey a mandate from the Constitutional Court. There can be no justice for different social strata. Justice is for everyone,” he added.
