The Sixth of the Administrative Litigation Tribunal set this Monday, May 15, a 48-hour period for the Registry of Citizens (RC) of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) to render a detailed report on the facts claimed by the Cambio party, whose leaders they want the general assemblies of Carlos Pineda’s Citizen Prosperity to be declared inadmissible.
Said room had previously processed the amparo raised by Cambio, in which the former presidential candidate and convicted in the US for money laundering, Manuel Baldizón and his children. Said legal action puts Pineda’s participation in the electoral event on June 25 at risk.
The Cambio party filed an amparo action on May 5 before a Chamber of Administrative Litigation that sought to invalidate an ordinary national assembly of Citizen Prosperity, which proclaimed Carlos Pineda as a candidate for the Presidency. The assembly was held on November 20, 2022.
This amparo intends to revive a similar action that was already declared void on another occasion. In the Cambio petition, it requests that the participation of the Political Party Prosperidad Ciudadana and the registered candidates for the June 2023 elections be suspended.
The notification of this Monday details that the Chamber set a period of 48 hours for the Citizens Registry to render a detailed report of the facts claimed by the amparista Edwin Eduardo Flores Pérez, general secretary of the Cambio party.
“Continuing with the processing and in accordance with article 33 of the Amparo Law,
Habeas Personal and Constitutionality, the DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE CITIZENS’ REGISTRY of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal is set for the authority denounced, the peremptory term of FORTY-EIGHT HOURS, so that he renders a circumstantial report and sends a certified copy of the administrative actions underlying the amparo, having to pronounce on the veracity or not of the facts of the amparista; with the justifications that he deems pertinent, ”says the resolution.
Complaint
In addition, recently, Manuel Baldizón, who was left out of the 2023 electoral contest in his intention to participate as a candidate for deputy, published a video on his Twitter account in which he makes several accusations against Carlos Pineda.
Baldizón’s video was recorded when he denounced Pineda in the Public Ministry (MP), where he indicated that the candidate had insulted “half the world” and women.
“Today I ask the justice to take action on the matter and I come to the MP to investigate this person, the parallel group that accompanies him, it is a heavily armed army with large-caliber weapons that surrounds him and intimidates people It’s scary,” said Baldizón.
He added: “Today we are going to proceed criminally and we are also going to request precautionary protection measures before the Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman and also before the International Court of Human Rights, that cannot continue in Guatemala.”
Then he told him: “Be patient Mr. Pineda, everyone has their time, it is not worth insulting, offending women, men, towns, national police officers who have called them ‘starving.’
He accused him of insulting “humble” people and “acting in a wrong way.”
