The lawyer Erick Castillo, who opened the door for Consuelo Porras to join the final list of candidates for Attorney General, filed a request to suspend the amparo de Cambio that puts the presidential candidacy of Carlos Pineda and other candidates at risk.

The Sixth Chamber of the Administrative Litigation Court is in charge of hearing an amparo filed by the Cambio Party, of the sons of Manuel Baldizón, against the Second National Assembly of the Citizen Prosperity Party.

From this account, the legal professional appeared before the Sixth Chamber where he filed the legal appeal that seeks to maintain Pineda’s participation in the 2023 electoral contest and that the change protection be filed immediately.

The legal brief maintains that the presidential registration was “endorsed by the Citizens’ Registry” and that the Cambio party took action against it out of time, for which it is inappropriate for said room to resolve in favor of the Baldizón.

CASTILLO HELPED PORRAS TO BE ATTORNEY GENERAL

In April 2022, in the framework of the election of Attorney General, Consuelo Porras was almost excluded from the list of candidates; however, the lawyer Erick Castillo filed an amparo before the CC to order the Postulation Commission to include the applicants with the best scores.

The 15 members of the Postulating Commission were divided, on the one hand, eight commissioners supported Porras, and on the other, seven did not support his re-election.

Porras failed to enter the list because he needed ten votes in favor. Through nine rounds of voting, he always got the same faithful eight votes.

However, thanks to Castillo’s action, she was able to be integrated into the final payroll and thus was re-elected by Giammattei as head of the Public Ministry (MP) for the second consecutive term.

HE ALSO HELPED ROBERTO ARZÚ

In November 2022, the presidential candidate of Podemos, Roberto Arzú García-Granados, filed an amparo action in the Constitutional Court (CC) against President Alejandro Giammattei and the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), with the lawyer Erick Castillo.

The action was carried out as Arzú’s private lawyer, after being notified by the electoral body that he would not be registered for the 2023 general elections due to the alleged realization of advance propaganda.

BIDDING ON THE TIGHTROPE

On May 5, the Cambio party, led by Jorge and Manuel Baldizón Vargas, filed an amparo, which seeks to annul the Ordinary National Assembly for Citizen Prosperity, in which Pineda along with Efraín Orozco were proclaimed as presidential binomial of the political organization.

After five days, on May 10, Prosperidad Ciudadana held a press conference, in which Pineda stated that the action lacked finality, legitimacy and temporality, since he stated that they did not follow the legal process, so it was not ” legally appropriate.”

However, the Sixth Chamber processed the amparo on May 15, for which reason it required the General Director of the Citizens’ Registry of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) to submit a circumstantial report with the background information, as well as certified copies of the administrative proceedings and a pronouncement regarding the accusations of the Cambio party.

ROOM UNRESOLVED BUG

The 48 hours set by the judiciary ended on Wednesday, May 17, and the Citizens’ Registry sent the documentation at noon on that date, however, the report was not signed by the citizens’ registrar, Ramiro José Muñoz Jordán, since He requested a three-day leave to be absent from work for a personal matter.

Until now, the Chamber is pending a decision, and both Jorge Baldizón Vargas, a member of Cambio, as well as Carlos Pineda’s spokesman, Noel López, do not have information regarding whether the judiciary issued a ruling, according to what they announced to The time.
