Monday, May 20, 2013 @ 1:14 PM
De Rosa. Vicepresident of the General Council of Judicial Power (GCJP) says that in Spain "there are more than 9 million new cases every year" and sees mediation as alternative figure
Mediation Act is "an alternative method to the judicial process and it has to be absolutely supported."
"The judicial support given to the mediation must be a system in which society itself tries to solve its problems by itself and it makes justice fulfill that constitutional objective, which is to be the last resort of the citizens,"
What is needed so that mediation works is "a social conscience and good mediators and especially the mechanisms in which society trusts are established ".
De Rosa pointed out that Spanish society "today trusts the administration of justice, so it goes to the judges" but also "society has to trust that this mediation will give the same result than going to the Administration of Justice ".
Trust. Not an easy word. Ethical revolution needed to society can freely breath. Possibly not before some Politicians, Bankers and High People are sent to jail for real. They are people at the end of the day under same legal and ethical rules as the rest. Do not get blind.
