There were 82 registrants, but 21 did not meet the regulatory requirements, according to a technical report.

 

For the creation of the citizen commission for the selection of the head of the Public Defender's Office, 82 citizens applied, but only 61 could be admitted.

The Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS) discussed meeting the night of this Saturday, October 23, to know the admissibility report prepared by a technical team, which concluded that 61 people met the requirements established in the respective regulations and did not be involved in prohibitions, to participate in the contest of merits and citizen challenge to form the citizen commission that will elect this authority.

According to records, 82 people applied, but 21 would not make it past the intake phase. According to the report, among the non-compliances that citizens registered were the failure to prove a career in social organizations, in citizen participation, in the fight against corruption, or recognized prestige that evidences their civic commitment and defense of the general interest.

Others did not have a third level degree, or did not present the registration form provided by the Council for Citizen Participation, or did not present the sworn statement. The plenary session of the body will decide in its plenary session whether to approve said report.

Upon passing this phase, this technical team will qualify the merit scores of the candidates who are admitted, and the 30 best scored will go to a public draw in which ten citizens (five principals and five alternates) will be chosen to make up the commission, representing the citizens.

Meanwhile, the Participation Council is waiting for the functions of the State, Executive, Legislative and Electoral to send their delegates to be part of this commission.

The Transparency and Social Control Function (which groups nine State entities) chose as its delegates to be part of the commission the brother of politician Fernando Balda, Manuel Balda, who is currently a server of the Council, as national deputy coordinator of Administrative Management.

The other candidate is Ana Hernández, who works as the national director of Citizen Attention and Education in the Superintendency of Banks.

It was known that the National Court of Justice (CNJ) referred Paúl Astudillo Valdivieso and Jéssica Burbano Piedra as its candidates.
