The highest court of the nation, warned that will reserve any actions or proceedings that may take place, with the aim of demanding the respective responsibilities and maintain the constitutional order.
As it will be recalled, on December 29, 2015, citizen Nicia Maldonado brought an electoral contentious appeal with injunctive relief against the parliamentary elections held in Amazonas state, due to the occurrence of acts contrary to the law, publicly known, which could lead to the configuration of an electoral fraud against the free and sovereign will of the voters of that state.

However, from the record is evidenced that the Judiciary Power has deployed all the necessary actions to further develop this and the other processes that correspond therein.
