Fernando Castillo Cadena

Fernando Castillo Cadena, the former president of Colombia's Supreme Court, has been vocal about the constitutional framework that allows the government to administer justice and propose legislation on economic matters, which he believes undermines the legislative powers of Congress. In a recent panel on judicial autonomy, Castillo criticized the current system as a significant constitutional experiment that risks compromising judicial impartiality and equality. He highlighted the problematic nature of superintendencies with judicial functions and stressed the importance of maintaining a clear separation of powers to ensure judicial independence from government influence.
