In the framework of one of the electoral annulment lawsuits filed against the councilor of Neiva, Juan Yamid Sanabria Triana, the Administrative Court of Huila accepted the precautionary measure and decreed the provisional suspension of the lobbyist on February 27 of this year. And then on April 30, the Court communicated the order by letter to the president of the Council, Juan Diego Amaya, while warning him that failure to comply with the aforementioned letter “will make him deserving of the sanctions that may be applicable.” However, in the session held yesterday, the suspended lobbyist was still attending the sessions with voice and vote, as recorded in the corporation’s minutes and media.
Sanabria Triana refuses to temporarily abandon the seat. Of course, the suspension is provisional and appeals remain to be resolved, through which it seeks to escape the precautionary measure, while the demand for electoral annulment continues.
Why is it suspended?
