The president of the Chamber of Deputies Abel Martinez (PLD) says the Chamber will not revoke its decision to pass the observations made by President Leonel Fernandez to the Organic Bill of the National Council of the Magistracy with a simple majority.
Legislators from the PLD said they would launch a process of debate with several sectors of society to explain that the Chamber of Deputies acted in accordance with the Constitution when it approved the observations of the Executive Branch to the Organic Law of the National Council of Magistrates (CNM) by a simple majority.
Art. 112 of the 2010 Constitution calls for two-thirds majority in the case of Organic Bills, that are those created in the Constitution itself.
President Leonel Fernandez met with 31 senators and 95 deputies of the ruling PLD at the Presidential Palace to discuss the controversial issue. As reported, the deputies insist they have acted correctly.
Martinez said that he believes that the Constitution should be defended, but in a sincere manner. He said he felt that many of those who are currently saying that they are defending the Constitution are the same people who carried signs that said "this is not my Constitution".
