PLD supports Aura Celeste

[NewsWhore]

Presidential Legal Advisor Cesar Pina Toribio revealed yesterday that the PLD political committee had unanimously offered to back Central Electoral Board (JCE) judge Aura Celeste Fernandez if she chose to remain on the board. Controversy was raised last week when her husband Guillermo Moreno accepted the presidential nomination for the Movimiento Unidad y Cambio (MIUCA) and comments began to circulate that the judge should resign from the JCE because of conflict of interest. Some judges supported Fernandez, saying that the JCE shouldn't lose a judge of her caliber, and Pina Toribio explained that her connection to Moreno doesn't break the law because they are married and not blood relatives. Toribio explained that only a parent-child relationship would have required Fernandez to leave the JCE.
