The Constitutional Court of Guatemala ruled that the deputies of the ruling Semilla Movement They must continue as independent in Congress and will not be able to establish themselves as a bench, local media reported.
The process was promoted by four deputies from the Vamos party, who argued that allowing Semilla to establish itself as a legislative bloc would violate the Constitution of that country.
The congressmen who presented the amparo are Allan Rodríguez Reyes, Greicy Domenica De León, Héctor Adolfo Aldana Reyes and Víctor Alfredo Valenzuela.
One of the reasons why the Constitutional Court decided to keep the Semilla deputies as independent is because last November the Citizen Registry of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal suspended the party.
The measure occurred in the midst of the attack by the Public Ministry against Semilla, whom the institution accuses of having falsified at least 800 signatures to establish itself as a party.
The Semilla deputies, now independent, will not be able to aspire to positions on the Board of Directors, work commissions or instances of block heads.
