On the deadline for the President to act on his observations to the National Council of the Magistracy Law amendments that were approved by the Chamber of Deputies with single majority, presidential hopeful Guillermo Moreno has requested an opinion by the Supreme Court of Justice citing the bill's violation of the Constitution. Legal experts say the bill, as sent by the Chamber of Deputies to the President, violated Art. 112 of the 2010 Constitution.
Presidential candidate Guillermo Moreno of the minority party Partido Alianza Pais in his recourse to the Supreme Court of Justice demands the revoking of the approval. A former district prosecutor, Moreno also notified President Leonel Fernandez and the Chamber of Deputies to abstain from signing and publishing the bill in the knowledge that the Supreme Court of Justice has been empowered of the recourse, as reported in Hoy.
Moreno said that the National Council of the Magistracy cannot be convened because all the actions it could take would be affected by the fundamental anomaly and thus these would be non-existent legal acts.
Moreno said the Prosecutor General should issue an opinion on the recourse in a short span of time because the naming of the members of the Higher Electoral Court (that will replace the Chamber of Disputes of the Central Electoral Board) and the Constitutional Court, the new court to hear constitution violation allegations, depends on this. The two bodies were created in the 2010 Constitution.
