Public hearings for Ombudsman

[NewsWhore]

The special commission appointed to select candidates for the post of Ombudsman will call for public hearings, hold several forums, and contact representatives of international organizations related to the issue, as well as Ombudsmen from other nations. Diario Libre reports that the commission will re-evaluate the work done until now and will then call on all sectors of society to propose candidates. Commission president and PLD deputy Julio Horton explained that the idea is that all society should know its rights in depth, and understand the role of Ombudsman and how important this juridical-constitutional figure will be in the strengthening of democracy and institutionalism in the country. The special commission will meet in the Chamber of Deputies' Norge Botello Hall at 5:00pm.
