The ex- presidential candidate of Alianza Liberal Nicaraguan (ALN) and delegated by constitutional disposition, Eduardo Montealegre Rivas, asked for yesterday the National Assembly to prorogue by a year the application of the Law Marco, while he is put under reforms.

“The Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance introduced a law initiative so that the Law Marco by a year is prorogued, and we meant the reasons to them for which we had put under those initiative of law (...) the Law Marco congealed five laws, two of constitutional rank and three ordinary laws”, Montealegre in press conference expressed.

The approval of the Law Marco surrounded the law of Supervision of Services Public (Sisep), the creative law of the Institute of the Urban and Rural Reformed Property (Iprur), the law of Social Security and the constitutional reform to article 138, numeral four, of the Political Constitution of Nicaragua, that reduced attributions to the Executive authority to name ministers, vice-ministers and diplomatic body.

In the case of the Nicaraguan Institute of Energía (INE), the Law Marco allowed to president Enrique Bolaños to propose a short list to occupy the direction of that institution, nevertheless, the deputies decided to name the liberal David Castillo.

Decreased attributions of the president

Although the proposal of Montealegre tries to give back the institucionalidad to the different powers from State, in the end, the deputies of the National Assembly will have to ratify the appointments of the government cabinet who carries out the sandinista Daniel Ortega.

Article 30, interjection 33, of the Statutory law of the National Assembly, authorizes the deputies “to ratify the appointment made by the President from the Republic the ministers, vice-ministers of State, Solicitor and General Assistant attorney general of the Republic, head of diplomatic missions and presidents or directors of independent and governmental beings”.

In addition, he himself article 30, in its interjection number four of the Statutory law, authorizes the deputies “to ask for information to the ministers and vice-ministers of State, Solicitor, General Assistant attorney general of Justice, presidents or directors of independent and governmental beings that will have the inescapable obligation to render them”.

He himself interjection four allows that the deputies “also will be able to require the personal appearance and interpellation (of the civil employees of the government). The appearance will be obligatory, under such pressures that are observed in the judicial procedure. The injustificada appearance will not be causal of destitution”.

Montealegre said that it is not certain that with the prorogation of the Law Marco “it leaves to the free hands to the President and ministers”, since all the reforms are congealed.

It added that during the year that is suspended the Law Marco, “we opened the opportunity to initiate a process of deep reforms to the Constitution”.

Prorogation favors to the sandinista Front

Nevertheless, the large stone bench of Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC) from already announced that the Sandinista Front will endorse the prorogation to the Law Marco.

“Obvious that yes (will endorse it), because this does a favor to him to Daniel Ortega, because with the constitutional reforms the Gentleman President of the Republic had to come here and to request to the National Assembly the ratification to him of ministers”, maintained the head of large stone bench of the PLC, Maximino Rodriguez, the Statutory law establishes that they must be ratified by the Assembly.

The board of directors of the parliament created a special commission that the sandinista will preside over Edwin Castro and who will have to consider in the course of this week the project of prorogation of the ALN.

In a session programmed for Tuesday, the deputies will send the prorogation initiative, to the special commission, that in addition to Castro integrates the Wálmaro sandinista Gutiérrez; the deputies by the PLC, Wilfredo Navarro and Maximino Rodriguez; the representatives by the ALN, Jorge Matamoros and Eduardo Go'mez; in addition to Juan Ramon Jiménez, elect under the flag of Sandinista the Renovador Movement (MRS).

The head of large stone bench by the PLC, Rodriguez, announced that they will maintain his opposition to the initiative of the ALN, large stone bench to which accused “to agree” with the FSLN to prorogue the Law Marco.

The FSLN still resists to announce their position around the approval of a prorogation to Law Marco.

“I do not want to give personal opinion, our large stone bench meets the next week”, indicated Castro.

The female leader of large stone bench by the ALN, Maria Eugenia Sequeira, rejected that they have negotiated beforehand with the FSLN.

BOLAÑOS SIGNED REQUEST

On the other hand, ex- president Enrique Bolaños, signed the request of a prorogation, according to Rodriguez, to pay “the favor to him” to Ortega, when now the agent chief executive proposed in a 2005 Law Marco.

“That is a negotiation in hot, that they did and in addition it is a favor that Bolaños to Mr. Ortega is paying to him to Mr. Enrique, because at his moment she came to speak of a Law Marco so that Bolaños followed until his last days naming his ministers”, said Rodriguez.

Montealegre assured that its parliamentary large stone bench will present/display a series of reforms that will contribute to the institucionalidad of Nicaragua.
