The presentation of the COVID-19 vaccination card to access public and private places will continue to be an obligation, after several legal actions that sought to put an end to this provision of the Ministry of Public Health were rejected.
Through a ruling, the Third Chamber of the Superior Administrative Court (TSA) declared inadmissible the amparo actions that sought the nullity of the requirement of the vaccination card against COVID-19.
The court justified that there are other “judicial channels that allow for effective protection of the fundamental rights invoked”.
This opinion generated the immediate reaction of the lawyer Yancarlos Martínez, one of the main plaintiffs of these resources. He called the court’s ruling a “legal aberration.”
It considered that no other avenue can protect the rights that they allege. He explained that all other judicial channels may take years to resolve this legal conflict, and that only the amparo allowed the quick solution of the legal dispute.
“By declaring the remedies inadmissible, what happens is that the court decided that it is not competent in the powers of protection to resolve the conflict. Rather, that same Superior Administrative Court is competent but empowering it through a Contentious Administrative Appeal, which in practice can take years or long months to reach a decision, ”said Yancarlos Martínez.
He warned that the fight has not ended because they will proceed by filing direct actions of unconstitutionality before the Constitutional Court, in addition to appeals for constitutional review.
The prosecuting lawyers are calling for a demonstration in front of the National Palace on Sunday, November 21, among other actions.
