When the country urgently needs solutions to the nagging problems of insecurity, economy, society and employment, the Assembly wastes time debating a resolution that constitutes a legal crime and is not needed to prosecute the former vice president, who has two convictions for corruption and no longer has any immunity.

Colpa nostra

It’s a shame what happened: wasting time analyzing a text that is legally ineffective but contributes to greater impunity. Criminal prosecution of a citizen, which, in the opinion of a respected constitutional defender, reflects their constitutional illiteracy. That parliamentary conclusion opens the possibility that the Judicial Council, with new leadership, suspends this examined judge and initiates a process for an unforgivable error. The Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the criminal offense of fraud and it is the right time for extraordinary protection before the Constitutional Court (KS). This judge is identified with the political cause of impunity, which is proven by his acquittals, and he is even contaminated by a former drug lord.

The senselessness of impunity that manifests itself in the legislature is a mockery of everything the Attorney General is doing bravely. It is another version of metastasis that eats away at institutional structures. The challenge is who will stop these repeated abuses in the Parliament.

Not together, but mixed

The legislative majority is ripping each other’s clothes to cheat the state. It can only be authorized for acting. The Constitution is clear. Article 120, paragraph 10. The Assembly shall have the authority by a two-thirds majority to approve the criminal prosecution of the President or Vice-President of the Republic, when the competent authority justifiably requests it.

There are three similar cases in which the Assembly rejected and declared inadmissible the requests to issue authorization to the Court because the former presidents were no longer in office, and were even convicted of corruption.

“Judges are suicidal”

Thus, they will attempt to impeach the Attorney General through deception, “for daring to deal with organized crime, drug trafficking, their allies and defenders”, even though the coalition partners in the impunity pact say that they are firmly against this process, but they cynically vote for it. .

These members of parliament continue to play with fire because they continue to challenge the institutions and even the judgments of the Constitutional Court, which should rightly and decisively take its decisions, without political calculations, and eventually lead to the dismissal of these members.

Members of the Assembly challenge the decision of the CC, which in its ruling 122-22-JC/23 from October last year established that the Assembly and all its members are obliged to conduct inspection with complete rigor and strict adherence to the procedure laid down in the Constitution and the law. He added that the exercise of control authority of the Assembly by its nature has a margin of discretion “but not arbitrariness” and that they cannot abuse this authority. (OR)
