Public Ministry demands the unconstitutionality of the electoral penal jurisdiction
He rejects the reconsideration of Martinelli who sought to stop the law
Processes in the MP will remain in pause

He adds that, by imposing as a limitation the need for the TE to authorize the withdrawal of the presidents, vice presidents, secretaries, and sub-secretaries of the parties, in addition to the candidates, “it violates the equality we all have to be investigated under the procedure. ordinary . ”
