“This attitude of the opposition condemns Congress to immobility and makes the institutions not work, which is a soft blow,” Recalde said this morning in statements to El Destape Radio. At this point, he considered that “there is an affectation of the Rule of Law for which the institutions have to function” despite the “stubborn refusal” of the opposition.
In this way, Recalde referred to the announcement made by the National Table Together for Change (JxC), which announced that it would not support any project sent by the Executive Power to Congress until the impeachment request to the Supreme Court is annulled. .
“It is a formidable step that this discussion on the Court can take place in the Chamber of Deputies because it will expose the questions that exist over the head of the judiciary. We are going to carry it out keeping the democratic and republican principles and due process. Accountability is also a republican principle,” he said.
The legislator also stated that the treatment of the impeachment of the members of the Court “will also be present the issue of the links that economic power” has with a sector of Justice, something that for the labor lawyer goes beyond “the ideologies”.
Likewise, Recalde considered that next March 24, when the traditional march for the Day of Memory, Truth and Justice takes place, “the people in the streets will once again install the issue of what is currently happening with Justice as it happened when there were demonstrations against the 2×1,” Recalde pointed out.
In this way, he referred to a ruling by the Court, issued in 2017, which sought to impose a criterion for commuting sentences for those convicted of crimes against humanity and which had to be reviewed after the massive popular mobilizations that took place at that time. then.
