Professional secrecy and politics: an alliance that smells of corruption

Published on June 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The news reveals how professional secrecy has become a shield to hide possible influences of political power over the justice system. This opacity generates citizen distrust in judicial impartiality. The solution lies in creating an independent commission in Congress that forces all those involved to testify without the protection of professional secrecy, guaranteeing transparency.

Transparency systems: when the ethical code fails 🔍

In judicial software development, traceability of decisions and access to communication logs are vital to avoid opacity. Tools like blockchain or case management systems with public auditing could record interactions between officials and judges. However, without political will to implement these mechanisms, any system remains vulnerable to data manipulation or evidence deletion.

The investigative commission: the patch nobody wants to apply 🩹

Proposing an independent commission sounds nice, but let's remember that in this country, commissions are like software patches: they are announced with fanfare, but then take years to be implemented, and when they are, they already have more holes than Swiss cheese. The only thing missing is for those involved to invoke professional secrecy to avoid testifying, while the commission debates whether the coffee in the room should be from a machine or a pod.
