Sin embargo, hubo desacuerdos sobre las causas que originaron ese fallo y sobre la manera como se deber\u00edan evitar ese tipo de decisiones judiciales disparatadas.<\/p>\n<p>Para la mayor\u00eda, el mal radica en los jueces, en su deficiente formaci\u00f3n, en su inexperiencia, o en su disposici\u00f3n a dejarse corromper. Para otros, en cambio, el problema est\u00e1 en la acci\u00f3n de tutela. Seg\u00fan estos \u00faltimos -all\u00ed est\u00e1n los voceros del Gobierno-, el problema est\u00e1 en que la acci\u00f3n de tutela les entrega poderes excesivos a los jueces. A mi juicio, ninguna de las dos opiniones tiene en cuenta la debilidad de la justicia en zonas que tienen presencia de actores armados. Esa, creo yo, es la principal causa de los males de la justicia.<\/p>\n<p>Empiezo diciendo que el Gobierno tiene buenas razones para defender algunos de los resultados de su pol\u00edtica de seguridad democr\u00e1tica, pero el fortalecimiento de los jueces no es uno de esos resultados, y mucho menos cuando se trata de jueces que operan en municipios afectados por el conflicto armado.<\/p>\n<p>Durante los \u00faltimos meses he estado mirando los datos de oferta y demanda de justicia, es decir, lo que ingresa (demandas) y lo que sale (sentencias), en los juzgados que est\u00e1n en zonas de conflicto armado. Los resultados son alarmantes. Sin entrar en detalles, cuando hay presencia de actores armados, las cifras de lo que ingresa a los juzgados y de lo que sale se disminuyen a cerca de la mitad. Las cifras de la justicia penal son a\u00fan m\u00e1s preocupantes. En los municipios con presencia guerrillera, las sentencias condenatorias de hurto, por ejemplo, se reducen a la tercera parte y cuando hay presencia paramilitar, a la quinta parte. En relaci\u00f3n con el homicidio simple, la oferta y la demanda se reducen a la tercera parte cuando hay actores armados. De otra parte, los jueces civiles que est\u00e1n en estos municipios violentos se dedican a resolver procesos de menor importancia y cuant\u00eda; muy pocos conflictos sobre tierras o propiedad pasan por sus despachos.<\/p>\n<p>No basta con tener un juzgado para que exista justicia. Los jueces que est\u00e1n en zonas de conflicto armado -aproximadamente 400- operan con toda la apariencia de normalidad. Sin embargo, cuando se mira en detalle lo que hacen, se constata que all\u00ed lo que existe es, o bien una justicia oficial que compite con una justicia ilegal, o bien una justicia inocua, que no tiene trabajo porque no hay conflictos, y no los hay porque la poblaci\u00f3n vive fajo la f\u00e9rula de un ej\u00e9rcito de ocupaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Nada de esto parece interesar al Ministerio del Interior, ni a la Divisi\u00f3n de Justicia de Planeaci\u00f3n Nacional y menos a\u00fan al Consejo Superior de la Judicatura. Para todos esos bur\u00f3cratas de la justicia lo importante es que los jueces est\u00e9n nombrados. Esos funcionarios de escritorio se meten la mentira -y nos la meten a los ciudadanos- de que en los territorios donde operan los actores armados hay justicia por el simple hecho de que hay juzgados.<br \/>\nPero, eso s\u00ed, cuando uno de esos jueces alcanza a tomar una decisi\u00f3n y la toma mal, como en el caso del juez de Lorica, le echan la culpa a la tutela.<\/p>\n<p>* * * *<\/p>\n<p>No es dif\u00edcil armar una guerra a punta de palabras. Dos pueblos pueden llegar a matarse cuando sus gobernantes incendian los esp\u00edritus desprevenidos de la gente con un lenguaje desmesurado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In zones of armed conflict there is an official justice that competes with an illegal (or harmless) justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-tiempo-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
