WEEK he knew for the first time the letter he sent him Amelia Perez Parra to the Council of State, so that they let her speak out in the middle of the lawsuit that seeks to annul the election of Luz Adriana Camargo as Attorney General of the Nation for the period 2024-2028.
In the letter, Perez Parra -who surprisingly resigned from the shortlist on March 12, the day on which the extraordinary session of the Plenary Chamber was going to be held, decisive to unblock the election of the Attorney General- assures that it is necessary to hear his version in this case.
The former prosecutor, who had investigations in her office such as the El Aro massacre and the bomb at the El Nogal club, asked the Judge Luis Alberto Álvarez Parra to let her testify in the evidentiary phase of this lawsuit, so that the high court “knows in detail the circumstances surrounding the facts under study.”
“It goes without saying, H. Counselor, that, additionally, They are general interests that motivate me to formulate this request,” adds the right to petition signed by Pérez Parra and known exclusively to WEEK.
And in the midst of collecting documents, the Supreme Court of Justice He accused Amelia Pérez Parra herself of “boycotting” the election process of the new Attorney General, by presenting her resignation a few minutes before the extraordinary room in which voting was going to resume was set up.
In the response of the Supreme Court of Justice It is noted that, with her attitude, the only intention was to affect the due process, warning that “Mrs. Amelia Pérez Parra had enough time to express in good faith her willingness to resign using expeditious channels such as electronic schedules to inform the Presidency of the Republic and to the court itself of its decision to deviate from the shortlist.”
However, what happened was that directly and personally the former Human Rights Prosecutor He went to the Presidency of the Supreme Court of Justice to present his respective letter of resignation, and then went to the Nariño Palace to communicate his decision to President Gustavo Petro, skipping the entire procedure.
The strong questioning was shared by the Attorney General, Luz Adriana Camargo that, in response to the lawsuit, assured that Pérez Parra’s resignation from the shortlist did not affect the election process in any way. “This is how we successfully confront those who, without having rights, seek to hinder one of the most important election procedures of our institutions.”
Likewise, the Presidency of the Republic requested that the claims of the lawsuit be rejected, considering that the resignation of Amelia Pérez in no way affected the process of electing the new Attorney General of the Nation, warning that President Gustavo Petro only found out about the division through the media and when the court had chosen to give birth Adriana Camargo.
Although in the third voting session, Pérez Parra obtained 12 votes, being very close to being elected, the messages published by her husband, also former prosecutor Gregorio Oviedo, did not go down very well, a situation that was reflected in the fourth room in which he saw a decrease in the votes in his favor.
