Before March 8, 2023, the lawsuit on a matter of trust would be resolved

The president of the Constitutional Court (TC)Francisco Morales Saravia, estimated that according to the terms established by law, the jurisdictional claim on the matter of trust presented by Congress would be resolved, at the latest, on March 8, 2023.

In dialogue with Canal N, he explained that the parties have been notified that Friday and the Executive Branch has 30 business days to answer the demand. After that, 10 business days will be given to fix the hearing of the case.

On that occasion, both the Government and the National Parliament must support their position through their attorneys, after which they have 30 more days.

“If we were scrupulous with the deadlines, on March 8 (2023 the ruling could be made), but after the hearing we can start debating immediately”he expressed.

In this sense, Morales Saravia indicated that in case of not responding to the demand, the Executive would incur “rebellion”although he clarified that this situation has never occurred.

He said that the Executive Branch has the interpretation that there was a denial of the trust issue raisedwhich is the point that the TC must resolve.

“Here the central point is Article 134 (of the Constitution) that allows the Congress of the Republic to be dissolved, so what the precautionary measure does is suspend those effects (of that interpretation of the question of trust)”narrowed.

As recalled, the Constitutional Court granted a precautionary measure to the Congress of the Republic while it resolves the jurisdictional claim filed by that State power for the alleged denial of confidence in the Executive Power.

In a resolution, it admitted the jurisdictional claim against the Government in the face of its threat to close Parliament, after the interpretation it made on the question of trust was rejected outright by the Board of Directors.

In the document, he indicated that there could be “institutional consequences, hardly irreversible”if the effect of the interpretation developed by the Executive Power in the Minutes of the Council of Ministers of November 24 is not suspended.
