Discomfort among those who aspired to be Ombudsman or Ombudsman. The disqualifications that were announced by the Mixed Commission of the Constitution of the Legislative Assembly provoked the protest of several of the candidates who presented their documents, who have already announced that they will challenge their separation from this call.
“I have submitted a folder with the 18 requirements including my resume on a CD and in PDF; in another folder the supporting documents of the studies and the work that I carried out, including the work certificates from when I was an ombudsman in my department for three years; So, of course I am going to challenge my disqualification, ”said the lawyer, Jorge Paz Yabeta, who was separated for failing to comply with requirement number 12, which refers to certifying his career in human rights defense.
The Mixed Commission of the Constitution determined to separate 126 candidates of 198 that were presented to the call. This Monday began the period of challenges against the qualified and disqualified who consider the measure of the parliamentarians unfair.
the internationalist Francisco Solares also made known his decision to challenge his disqualification because he considers that it was due to a matter of form and not due to a requirement of substance. “The selection process already lacks legitimacy, it cannot be considered valid, the challenges to my person are subjective. There are people who are still in the career and it is not just the case of Mrs. Nadia Cruz, there are other people who worked for the Government,” said Solares.
No less forceful was the representative of the Committee for the Defense of Democracy (Conade), Manuel Morales, who presented the challenge to the Mixed Commission of the Constitution and described as a lie of the commission that he said that his resume was not signed. “Here I show you the corresponding signature of the form that I have filled out where my resume is detailed, ”Morales showed to the media.
Later he said that is in a position to go to court with a constitutional protection to restore his rights, because he considers that his rights were violated when he was removed from the lists of candidates for Ombudsman.
Former judge Ricardo Maldonado, who also applied and was disqualified, recalled that, in his capacity as judicial authority, He was the Fifth Criminal Investigation Judgereceived many threats due to the rulings it issued and also the parties that lost the processes filed lawsuits against it.
Those demands were dropped or rejected. and there is no accusation against him, said the former authority and that is why he considers that the legislators should rehabilitate him on the lists of candidates. Challenges can be filed until Thursday.
This Monday, the Citizen Community bench presented the challenge against the current interim defender, Nadia Cruz. The party’s caucus chief, Carlos Alarcón, said that the Ombudsman’s Law and the Political Constitution of the State (CPE) itself prohibit reapplication and that it does not recognize whether it is interim or permanent.
