Nancy Marichel Díaz de Martínez is at risk of losing the Diputación, if she is elected on Sunday, but the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court decides to deactivate her citizenship rights to promote presidential re-election.
The Chamber yesterday admitted a lawsuit against Díaz de Martínez and opened a lawsuit against him for having incurred one of the causes indicated in the Constitution in its article 75: “They lose the rights of citizens: 4th Those who sign acts, proclamations or accessions to promote or support the re-election or continuation of the President of the Republic, or use direct means aimed at this end. “

If the indicated conduct is proven and the Chamber fails against Díaz de Martínez and he has already been elected, he will have to leave the position and assume an alternate.
The Chamber states exhaustively: “It should be noted that the electoral result of the participation of the citizen Nancy Marichel Díaz de Martínez as a candidate for deputy for the party WINS for the territorial constituency of San Salvador will be conditioned on the decision issued in this process of loss of citizenship rights “.
“In the event that the existence of the alleged constitutional violation is ascertained and an estimate is issued regarding the loss of her political rights, the citizen Nancy Marichel Díaz Martínez, in the event of being elected, will not be able to assume the position of deputy and would assume, in this case, an alternate of his parliamentary group “.
Díaz de Martínez has a period of 20 working days, after being notified, to answer the lawsuit for loss of citizenship rights filed against him, which was promoted by lawyer Enrique Anaya.

The Chamber orders that the Supreme Electoral Court be informed.
Anaya filed the lawsuit noting that the candidate recently stated in an interview with the newspaper El Mundo that it is necessary “that the re-election of president can be resumed,” then expressed “we need President Bukele to be able to stay longer (… ) “, adding that” we want him re-elected, because we know that in five years he will not finish all his works “.
Faced with this, lawyer Anaya recalls in his lawsuit that the Constitution has provided as a case of loss of citizenship rights in his article to “attack one of the fundamental pillars of Salvadoran political, democratic and constitutional system, as it is the alternabilidad in the exercise of the presidency of the Republic, that constitutes one of the petrified clauses of the constitutional norm “.
For the above, it calls for the loss of the candidate’s citizenship rights, especially her right to active and passive suffrage, to be declared.
