“I accepted because trusted in a system of institutions, of checks and balances that, in the hands of prudent and sensible women and men, would forever privilege dialogue and compromise, that would attend to the pressing demands of a majority of citizens who had been forgotten or relegated to the background for decades, but that would also respect the dignity of minorities, who would proceed with prudence and respect, seeking to reconcile and not divide, to work together and not in opposition.”

“Although I am fortunate to continue carrying out the task that has been an honor for me to carry out and in which I have tried to serve to the maximum of my abilities, to continue in it, today They intend to subject me to a massive and uncertain electoral contest.
“I will not participate in this campaign because I consider it our lab is antitheticalto my vocation and to the promise I made almost six years ago when taking the oath.
“I will not participate in a process where I am forced to make promises that I know I will not be able to keep. in good conscience, that my promise to exercise the office of judge with impartiality and moderationlooking only at the Constitution, at the facts of the case and not at the clamors of the majorities,” he wrote.
