The presidential candidate of the FMLN and Vice President of El Salvador, Salvador Sanchez Ceren, said that his political party, FMLN, abides by the resolution of the Constitutional Chamber of El Salvador, which on Monday October 14, 2013, ruled that the appointment of Solomon Padilla, as President of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ), was unconstitutional.

 

"We abide by the decision of the Constitutional Chamber, we do not want instability and lawlessness in El Salvador," said Sanchez Ceren this morning during the inauguration of XXXI Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean (COPPPAL ), held today in San Salvador.

 

The Vice President considered that the SCJ of El Salvador cannot be left “leaderless” in a time that the country is about to celebrate a presidential election.

 

For his part, Secretary General of the FMLN, Medardo Gonzalez, criticized the decision of the Court, but said his party will abide by the decision.

 

Both statements were given during the inauguration of XXXI Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean (COPPPAL ), held today in San Salvador.

Padilla had been elected President of the Supreme Court of Justice in August 2012.
