If the above behavior is proven and the chamber rules against Díaz de Martínez and he has already been elected, he will have to leave office and take over.
The Chamber states it directly: “It should be noted that the election result of the participation of citizen Nancy Marichel Díaz de Martínez as a candidate for deputy for the GANA party for the territorial district of San Salvador will be conditioned by the decision issued in this process of loss of citizenship rights.” .
“If the existence of the alleged constitutional violation is verified and an estimate is issued regarding the loss of her political rights, the citizen Nancy Marichel Díaz Martínez, if elected, will not be able to take over the position of deputy and would imply, in such a case, an alternate from his parliamentary group.
Díaz de Martínez has a period of 20 working days, after being notified, to respond to the request for loss of citizenship rights filed against him, which was filed by lawyer Enrique Anaya.
