Mariela Jhovana Ríos

Mariela Jhovana Ríos is a Bolivian judge serving in the Juzgado Público Mixto de Familia, Niñez y Adolescencia, Partido de Trabajo, Seguridad Social y Sentencia Penal 1° in La Guardia. Recently, she made headlines for rejecting a constitutional action presented by councilwoman Andrea Negrete of the Unidad Cívica Solidaridad party, which sought to reclaim two municipal council seats from expelled members. Ríos emphasized the importance of avoiding duplicate constitutional procedures and stated that the matter was already under the jurisdiction of another competent judge, thus highlighting her commitment to judicial process and the rule of law.
