About a hundred people gathered in front of the General Council of the Judiciary in Madrid to denounce what they consider a judicial coup against the Government. Called by a citizens' association, attendees demanded independent and non-politicized justice, reflecting growing social unrest over the possible political influence in the courts. The protest highlights concerns about the impartiality of the judicial system.
Justice under the scanner of digital transparency 🔍
Technology could provide solutions to this distrust. Blockchain-based case management systems would allow auditing every step of a process, from filing to sentencing. Open data platforms would display in real time recusals, resolution times, and connections between judges and parties. Artificial intelligence tools, trained on public jurisprudence, could detect patterns of bias. It is not about replacing the judge, but about giving citizens tools to verify their independence.
The judge in the app: justice with a click 📱
While some demand independent judges, others dream of an app that resolves everything with a button. Imagine an AI called JustiBot: you enter the case details, pay by card, and receive a verdict in seconds. Of course, if you appeal, you get a chatbot with a judge's name. In the end, maybe all we need is for courts to post their rulings on TikTok. Meanwhile, we will keep watching to see if justice is blind or just has one eye covered.
