Defined this Sunday the agreement between various sectors of the opposition, to go to internal elections within the agreement, now comes the first legal battle for them.
And it will be with the ANR, whose referents of the main movements, advanced that they will prosecute the position of rejecting the use of the national register, so that the opposition parties choose their presidential candidate.
The opponents, meanwhile, have already brought up the issue, which had already been presented to the Supreme Court of Justice, years ago, but without the highest judicial instance taking any decision on the matter.
Consulted on the subject, the advisor to the Superior Court of Electoral Justice, Luis Alberto Mauro, recalled that until now the Constitutional Chamber has not ruled on the unconstitutional action filed against the use of the National Register in the 2015 elections.
“He didn’t get anything, that’s why Mario Ferreiro ran for the Partido Revolucionario Febrerista. The Court did not take any measure and to this day it has not been resolved. If the Colorado Party decides to challenge it, it can come to the Electoral Court of the Capital, where the appeal process begins and the Supreme Court of Justice can go. It is a jurisdictional issue where not even the magistrates can give an opinion, they can give an opinion on their sentence”, he added, remarked Mauro.
Thus, the bid for Colorados versus opponents is already underway from this moment. To prolong the matter, opponents announced that they will ask the Supreme Court to rule first on that challenge request, and then make a decision on the current request.
