Judges administer justice following the instructions of the Government.

✓ Falso

False. Judges are independent: they are subject only to the law. The Government cannot give them orders or instructions about how to decide a case. This independence is essential in the Estado de Derecho (rule of law), because it stops political power from using the courts. Justice comes from the people and is administered in the name of the king, by judges and magistrates who form the judicial power.
