The Verification and Auditing Commission of the National Revisory Assembly for the Constitution has failed to reach an agreement. The Commission met to find "a way out" of the stalemate created by the rejection of the modification to the composition of the National Magistrates Council (CNM), which has paralyzed the workings of the Constitutional reform process. In the meeting that went on for several hours a number of options were batted about, mainly proposed by the PRD and PLD assembly members who are trying to follow the terms of the pact signed by their leaders, which included the composition of the CNM, the body in charge of appointing judges.
Both parties are suggesting that Assembly regulations should be put to one side in order to find a political solution that allows for the completion of the Constitutional reform process without any further stumbling blocks. Although no agreement was reached, a proposal was drafted, which was rejected as a dissenting report in last Monday's Assembly session. The commission will continue its discussions today.
The Verification Commission is chaired by Frank Martinez and composed of German Castro, Pelegrin Castillo, Prim Pujols, Andres Bautista, Eugenio Cedeno, Josefa Castillo, Minou Tavarez Mirabal, Tommy Galan, Isabel Bonilla and Radhames Castro. The new proposal that will be discussed suggests including the Attorney General of the Republic, two members of the Supreme Court and the dean of one of the nation's law schools as members of the CNM.
