The president’s proposal to fill the vacant attorney general position has not been discussed in the Senate for ten months
The government’s intention to remove the temporary deputy Eduardo Casal Another candidate for attorney general has stalled: two-thirds have yet to materialize in the Senate to appoint a federal judge Daniel Ravikas For this position, nor approval by MPs to amend the Basic Law of the Office of the Prosecutor, which dilutes the majority required to appoint a new lawyer. Rivkas said he would not accept the post if the ruling party reduces the number of votes in the Senate to elect it.
