The mayor of the district of Panama, José Luis Fábrega, filed a lawsuit of unconstitutionality before the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) against the resolution of March 3, 2022, issued by the regional director of electoral organization of Panama Center of the Electoral Court ( TE), by which the request for his revocation of mandate is admitted.
The appeal was filed by attorney Carlos Carrillo, on behalf of Mayor Fábrega, arguing that the decision adopted violates several articles of the Constitution and therefore should be revoked.
According to the appeal presented on the afternoon of this Tuesday, April 12, the Constitution only establishes the revocation of mandate in the case of corregimiento representatives, but not for mayors.
The lawsuit was filed in the office of Judge José Ayú Prado, after the distribution was made.
The lawyer Roberto Ruiz Díaz presented on February 22, before the TE, a memorial to request the revocation of the mandate of Mayor José Luis Fábrega.
