The former presidential candidate and member of the Progressive Party, Marco Enríquez-Ominami, would be unable to vote. This condition would separate him from possible political incursions, such as participating in the constitutional convention, the parliament or the presidential chair.
Enríquez-Ominami’s team pointed out that the disqualification is recent, since he was authorized to vote in the last plebiscite of October 25, according to La Tercera.
“I have been investigating for six years, six years without trial, six years without conviction, clearly there is a violation of the right to be tried within a reasonable period of time”MEO stated in a letter sent to the outlet.
Meanwhile, his lawyer, Octavio Sufán, pointed out: “My client, Marco Enríquez-Ominami, must be presumed innocent. If the judgment had been made in a timely manner, we would have an acquittal. However, due to unnecessary delays, there has been neither the opportunity nor the right to attend an oral, public and contradictory trial ”.
“We are going to exhaust all the judicial and administrative instances that correspond to restore the rule of law. Marco Enríquez-Ominami is innocent, he has a state of innocent and the State must presume him as such “added.
Likewise, it pointed out that “the Inter-American system has established clear standards regarding the exercise of political rights and clear standards regarding the right to be tried within a reasonable time and due law in general. Under these standards, we will be governed to exercise all the necessary actions so that Mr. Enríquez-Ominami is not only presumed, but his state of innocence is respected ”.
Let us remember that Enríquez-Ominami must face a lawsuit for eventual subsidy fraud in the OAS case. Similarly, The ex-flagger was formalized for allegedly having facilitated the issuance of 36 ideologically false invoices to SQM Salar, in addition to two others to Soquimich, for an amount that is close to $ 420 million, according to the records of the Prosecutor’s Office.
