The spokesman for the majority of the People’s Democratic Party Angel Matos, clarified that, although the advisers to the president Rafael “Tatito” Hernández They are already working on the necessary resolution to form the special committee, the position of the parliamentary leadership remains waiting for the Court of San Juan is expressed about the jurisdiction over the election challenge.

Prados has petitioned the higher court in recent weeks Rebecca de León Ríos that it paralyzed the legal process that spurred it on January 14 to give way to a legislative investigation into the irregularities identified in the general election vote for San Juan’s Third District.

The Constitution, in Article 9 of Section 3, states that “each (legislative) chamber shall be the sole judge over the legal capacity of its members, over the validity of the minutes and over the review of their election”, therefore, according to Prados, it initially has jurisdiction over the challenge of Morales’s certification, which it officially outbid by 128 votes.

Given the result certified by the State Election Commission, Prados states that 139 early ballots were counted above the number of voters, that ballots of this category of votes were found without any fold and that there were voters who cast their votes illegally.

“We respect the courts to handle this. That said, we began to study the possibility of preparing motions for resolutions so that the court could rule in Eve’s favor, that the House hears the election claim she has against Comrade Juan Oscar Morales and set up a special committee. It’s an assertion somewhat different from what it used to be Manuel Natal Y Miguel Romero (for the mayor of San Juan). The lawyers were told to prepare motions for resolutions, ”Matos stressed to this medium.

According to Matos, the special commission would be made up of representatives of all parties and essentially act as a sort of counting table in which the votes of that main district are counted.

In his trial before the courts, a copy of which he has submitted to the House of Representatives, Prados requests that a new election be ordered in District 3, as the alleged wrongdoings that have taken place make it impossible to determine with certainty who is a winning candidate.

“The committee should take custody of the controversial suitcases and the parties, with their election officials, recount, open every envelope and every unit. My interpretation of the controversy is that when (Prados) seeks a remedy in the Chamber, he seeks a process between colleagues, that the body acts on it. But the solution remains the same: count votes, ”said Matos.

“We are a filter committee, a new layer of trust in the remedy Mrs. Eva Prados is asking for. Ultranovel terrain, ”said the representative.

How long could a resolution take if the lower house assumed jurisdiction over the controversy? Subway

‘I don’t dare to take it. But 2021 will not end without having a solution, ” said the majority spokesman, acknowledging that there is no recent comparative framework for the remedy Prados is seeking.
