The case of the Sun Land Corporation and US$130 million is not on the Supreme Court agenda, according to magistrate Julio Ibarra Rios. The Sun Land case deals with the government taking on US$130 million in foreign debt without congressional approval.
According to a report in Listin Diario, Ibarra Rios says that the case has not been submitted because the chief justice of the court (SCJ) has not placed it on the agenda of the full court. Ibarra Rios rejected accusations made by the PRD party and the Alternative Social Forum that said that the Supreme Court (SCJ) was "running away" from its responsibilities in this case. The magistrate said that he would make his position known when the time comes, but the agenda of the full court is written by the chief justice and apparently the chief justice, Jorge Subero Isa, feels that there are more important issues than this case of unconstitutionality.
