La corrupción en la administración de Justicia destruye la satisfacción con el funcionamiento de la Democracia

Abstract

Satisfaction with Democracy functioning is a relevant indicator of Democracy's health. This satisfaction is surely multidimensional and depends on how the performance of the different institutions is perceived. Among the institutions that make a significant contribution to that Satisfaction is, undoubtedly, the Justice Administration. Distortions in its functioning, like corruption, affect negatively this contribution. In this article we show how the perception of corruption in the Administration of Justice negatively affects satisfaction with the functioning ofDemocracy directly; and indirectly, through the perception of equality before the law and the right to Justice.
