Judicial secretary Juana Guerra.

Experience in the judicial field makes Juana Guerra Martínez an exceptional person in the Provincial People's Court of Las Tunas. Her 39 years of work endorse her knowledge, and being the judicial secretary of the Government Council nourishes her praised performance, from which the most inexperienced can drink.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- "Our system offers guarantees to judges and auxiliary personnel, and from the moment they begin their preparation for the Bachelor's Degree in Law or the Middle Technician, the path begins. We are talking about a specialty that is recognized and necessary for society."

"Regardless of the context the country is going through, within the courts we have managed to ensure that fluctuations do not transcend, precisely because of the attention that the judges and auxiliary staff bring."

So many years of dedication have resulted in Juana being loved and respected by her colleagues. She knows her duties to the letter and the professionalism with which she carries out her work has earned her the respect of the judges and authorities of this instance.
"My work has captivated me, and although I get a little tired over the years, nothing beats the love I have for this place, which is why I always encourage myself and motivate myself to continue."

Even if people summarize the court as judges, lawyers, and prosecutors, this space goes beyond that: "The auxiliary staff, who support the judicial activity, which is fundamental, is very important and vital. Judges are the ones who make rulings, but support staff are the ones who execute what the judge orders. So, if you do not have this other team, you do not get the process that is announced."

"There are many dispositions resulting from a sentence, and this requires sacrifice, dedication, devotion, and responsibility from those people behind the scenes. This is a task that will never be replaced; there must always be support staff."

She is most proud of walking the corridors of the Provincial People's Court and feeling the passage of time. "I entered at a very young age and I have been trained here; for me, this is my home.
