Gladis Peña Palomino is a substitute judge and one of those who returns to wear the toga after her retirement and after accumulating 38 years of uninterrupted work. "The Court's management decided to call me to share my knowledge with the new generations of judges incorporated into the system and I did not hesitate to return."
For Rosa María Hernández Leyva from the municipality of Puerto Padre, the experience is similar. "To be retired is to take a little vacation after reaching the age and years required to be able to finish that stage. But the court needs me."
"I as a revolutionary have always stepped forward to be where I am most useful. Besides, some young people require preparation to fulfill this task properly and we are in function of working and, at the same time, training them.”
After this important moment for the highest authorities of law here, there was a meeting between all the judges of the eight municipalities to discuss topics of interest in different areas, such as the new content of the Family Code and the procedure they carry out as guarantors of the law in decision making.
