In this sense, he recalled that, according to current regulations, no senator or member of Congress can be detained from the moment of his election, regardless of whether he has sworn or not.
Thus, he also insisted in an interview with the channel GEN / Nación Media that “judges cannot change a constitutional guarantee, because they expose themselves to being investigated by the Magistrate’s Prosecution Jury.”
The lawyer mentioned that it is illogical for Querey to want to compare HC’s case with that of legislator Erico Galeano, who appeared despite having privileges. “Any argument or position of any person must be based on the Constitution and the law. There are rules in the Constitution that have exceptions. It does not mean that this is an unalterable norm. There is discussion from when an elected person has immunity, ”he added.
On the other hand, it revealed that the congressional “garrote” commission is part of a program orchestrated by the government and the media to destroy a politician whom they cannot win at the polls, and for this state terrorism is used. “The CBI is running over institutions such as the Judiciary and the Public Ministry, they are actions typical of the dictatorship,” he remarked.
Yesterday Cartes notified the CBI that he will not appear this Tuesday because he has privileges for being an elected senator and also for being a senator for life. For this reason, he asked that the questions be sent to him in writing so that he could evaluate and answer them or, if necessary, rely on current laws, such as the one that guarantees abstention from testifying.
The entrance HC lawyer: “The judges cannot change a constitutional guarantee” was first published in diary TODAY.
