Abstract

This brief essay shows a few reflections on the case of Alonso Saura v. Spain and, above all, the dissenting opinion of Judge ad hoc Jimena Quesada, on the inequality existing in the judiciary when making appointments to high positions of responsibility in the courts. The purpose of this commentary is obviously to publicize the judgment of 8 June 2023, but also to draw attention to an anachronism that lasts too long in our societies.
