Competitions Without Rivalry

The judiciary is experiencing significant changes as procedures for filling vacant judicial positions have begun. After three years of inactivity, the Minister announces available positions, and the current head of the National Judiciary Council expresses readiness to recommend candidates quickly. However, reports indicate that most appointments will occur without competitions or evaluations of candidates' qualifications. Instead, judges have been informally queued for these positions, as many older judges retire, leading to over a thousand vacancies in the judiciary. Judges from lower instances are hopeful for their turn to apply for these roles.
