Esta Sala se convirti\u00f3, durante el gobierno del presidente Uribe, en un basti\u00f3n pol\u00edtico enquistado en las altas cumbres del poder judicial. Eso fue posible debido a que el mecanismo previsto para escoger a sus magistrados se origina en ternas elaboradas por el Presidente de la Rep\u00fablica, de las cuales eligen los congresistas. Se trata de un mecanismo arrevesado (pol\u00edticos nombrando a jueces) que termina teniendo las consecuencias nefastas que se le conocen a esa Sala. (En Mayor\u00edas sin democracia, una investigaci\u00f3n publicada hace dos a\u00f1os por Dejusticia, se muestran estos efectos).<\/p>\n<p>Los magistrados de la Disciplinaria son, ante todo, pol\u00edticos de profesi\u00f3n. En su gran mayor\u00eda tienen una pobre formaci\u00f3n acad\u00e9mica, carecen de experiencia judicial y no son expertos en derecho penal o disciplinario. Por eso se han dedicado a pagar favores a punta de decisiones judiciales. S\u00f3lo un ejemplo: durante el proceso de la Yidispol\u00edtica fue justamente esta Sala la que, al resolver una acci\u00f3n de tutela presentada por el ex ministro Diego Palacio, revoc\u00f3 el fallo que la Corte Suprema de Justicia hab\u00eda proferido en su contra. Adem\u00e1s de pol\u00edticamente controvertido, esa decisi\u00f3n fue jur\u00eddicamente cuestionada: s\u00f3lo analiz\u00f3 algunos apartes de la sentencia de la Corte de Suprema de Justicia, y lo hizo fuera de contexto y con referencias gen\u00e9ricas, para terminar afirmando que \u201cla argumentaci\u00f3n\u201d de la sentencia violaba derechos fundamentales del ex ministro; una tesis sin precedentes en el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n<p>Pero eso no es todo. A la captura pol\u00edtica de la justicia se le suma un largo historial de corrupci\u00f3n de todas las formas y colores: carruseles de pensiones, nepotismo y tr\u00e1fico de influencias o, como revel\u00f3 el Fiscal, posibles falsificaciones de actas de las sesiones de la Sala.<\/p>\n<p>Siendo pues este un organismo indeseable, ampliamente criticado por la opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica desde hace por lo menos dos lustros, \u00bfc\u00f3mo es posible que los congresistas se hayan empe\u00f1ado en mantenerlo en la actual reforma a la justicia? Las fallas protuberantes de la Sala Disciplinaria no eran un secreto para nadie, mucho menos para los congresistas, ni para el Gobierno (que en el proyecto inicial hab\u00eda propuesto eliminarla). Sin embargo, en la versi\u00f3n actual del proyecto s\u00f3lo se propone eliminar la otra sala del Consejo, la Administrativa, que siempre ha sido m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil de cooptar por los pol\u00edticos.<\/p>\n<p>Peor a\u00fan, en el proyecto actual la Sala Disciplinaria sale fortalecida. Obtiene dos asientos en la Sala de Gobierno (de los cuales carece hoy en su equivalente, la Sala Administrativa) y logra constitucionalizar algunas competencias que antes solo eran legales o reglamentarias. Adem\u00e1s, su competencia adquiere mayor alcance, pues est\u00e1 a cargo de vigilar a particulares, notarios y empleados judiciales, quienes como propone la reforma, estar\u00edan facultados para ejercer funciones judiciales. Dado que la reforma les otorga facultades judiciales, se supone entonces que a ellos tambi\u00e9n los controlar\u00e1 esta Sala Disciplinaria.<\/p>\n<p>Volvamos pues a la pregunta, \u00bfc\u00f3mo es posible que semejante organismo haya tenido (tenga, en realidad) una supervivencia tan larga? Solo hay una respuesta: por el contubernio entre sus miembros \u201cmagistrados\u201d y las mayor\u00edas en el Congreso.<\/p>\n<p>Un comentario y una advertencia finales. El comentario: no basta con que la reforma le cambie el nombre a la Sala Disciplinaria; el nuevo consejo disciplinario que la remplace tiene que tener, por todas estas razones, un mecanismo de elecci\u00f3n de magistrados diferente. Y la advertencia: el proyecto actual contempla la creaci\u00f3n de una Sala de Investigaci\u00f3n en la Corte Suprema de Justicia, destinada a investigar y acusar a los congresistas que cometan delitos. Esa Sala tiene un origen similar a la Disciplinaria: proviene de ternas elaboradas por el Presidente. De nuevo pol\u00edticos nombrando magistrados. Parecer\u00eda como si no bastara con los errores (\u00bfaprendidos?) de la Sala Disciplinaria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This seems to be the beginning of the end of the infamous Disciplinary Chmaber, perhaps the least presentable body of the Colombian judiciary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"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-27488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","subcategory-judicial-reform","medium-la-silla-vacia-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) -
