• The Crespo headquarters of the Fiscalía General de la Nación in Cartagena suffers from constant air conditioning failures.
• The lack of adequate ventilation and cooling creates an extremely uncomfortable and unhealthy environment for employees and citizens.
• This situation compounds existing problems such as heavy caseloads, lack of support, limited equipment, connectivity issues, and insufficient basic supplies.
• The oppressive heat negatively impacts concentration, decision-making, and the overall dignity of judicial work.
