The Permanent Commission of Congress, will meet on this date, on this constitutional complaint presented by the Prosecutor’s Office.

In this context, Parliament asked the Judiciary, an autonomous body, to request the impediment of Chávez Chino’s departure from the country in view of his potential flight.

The Supreme Court of Preparatory Investigation, however, rejected the request due to the alleged absence of the “elements of conviction” (foundations), as well as the time frame of the measure against the former prime minister.

In this line, the judicial instance granted a period of three days for the Parliament’s attorney to correct these errors and, after that, the text is extended.
