CAMACHO
Emilio Camacho, the plaintiff’s lawyer, indicated that the action is based on the alleged defenselessness of Lugo during his political trial. According to him, the violation of fundamental rights and the San José de Costa Rica pact took place there.
He also affirmed that, after a long study, the Inter-American Commission declared the process admissible.
“Between yesterday and today he notified the Paraguayan State via the Foreign Ministry. Now there is a non-extendable period of six months for the parties to submit new arguments, ”he explained.
Now the commission will study the substantive law. In addition to opening a stage in which you can reach an amicable agreement.
“It is a higher stage, now the entire claim is being studied, and at the same time they send a report of more than 30 points, fundamental because this claim was admitted. It is an enormous act of justice and defense of rights, due to the arbitrariness committed in the political trial, “he said.
