For persisting contempt and before expiration of the period, TSJ appointed rectors of CNE

The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court appointed, for the 2016-2022 period, as the first Rector of the National Electoral Council to citizen Socorro Elizabeth Hernández, and as her alternates to citizens Andrés Eloy Brito Denis and Iván Zerpa Guerrero, respectively; As second Principal Rector, citizen Tania D ‘Amelio Cardiet, and as her alternates to citizens Abdón Hernández Rodríguez and Gustavo Guevara Sifontes; who were already nominated and even appointed as Rectors of the commission, for fulfilling all the requirements set forth in the Constitution.
The appointment is made as an indispensable measure because the corresponding Constitutional period has expired and due to lack of diligence in the respective designation process, along with the fact that the National Parliamentary body is in contempt of the Judiciary power, which determines the nullity of all its Acts as long as is maintained the contumacious conduct, prejudicial to the constitutional order, taking into account the maintenance of the constitutional supremacy, as well as the stability and peace of the Republic, according to the provisions of Constitutional Article 336 numeral 7 and the sentence of that Chamber n 1865 of December 26, 2016.
The Judgment reiterates that all the actions carried out by the National Assembly (AN) related to the process of designation of new officials or new officials of the commission, lack validity, effectiveness and legal existence, due to the continued disrespect that the aforementioned Legislative body regarding the Judicial Power and the unconstitutional omission in which it incurred. Likewise, the Supreme Court of the Republic once again urged the AN to hold the formal parliamentary act of disembedding citizens Nirma Guarulla, Julio Haron Ygarza and Romel Guzamana, as it did on January 11 of this year, in Respect for the principles of parallelism of forms, legality, legal security and constitutional supremacy.
The ruling says that any action by the AN and any body or individual against what is decided, will be null and void of any validity and legal effectiveness, without prejudice to any responsibilities that may arise.
