Elected Governor Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said today, Sunday, that he supports the nomination of Maritere Brignoni to the Supreme Court.
In a thread on the social network Twitter, Pierluisi Urrutia published that he expects the Senate Chamber to evaluate the nominations correctly.
“The fact that there are other people qualified for this position should not be a valid reason to reject the selection of the governor and, on the contrary, he should be given great deference and consideration,” he added.
Also, Pierluisi Urrutia commented that he recognizes the activity of Kermit Lucena, who was appointed controller by Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced.
“Our constitution gives the governor the power to appoint legislators to determine whether the selected person is qualified to take office,” he explained.
The fact that there are other persons qualified for this position should not be a valid reason for rejecting the selection of the governor and, on the contrary, should be given wide deference and consideration. (6/6)
