If the above conduct is proven and the chamber rules against Díaz de Martínez and he has already been elected, he must leave the position and take on a deputy.
The House put it bluntly: “It should be noted that the election result of the participation of citizen Nancy Marichel Díaz de Martínez as a candidate for deputy for the GANA Party for the San Salvador Territorial District will depend on the verdict in this process of loss. of citizenship rights ”.
If the existence of the alleged constitutional violation is verified and an estimate is made as to the loss of her political rights, citizen Nancy Marichel Díaz Martínez, in the event of being elected, will not be able to to take on the position of deputy and in that case would hire a deputy from his parliamentary group.

The Chamber orders that the Supreme Election Tribunal be informed.
Anaya filed the lawsuit, noting that the candidate recently stated in an interview with the El Mundo newspaper that it is necessary “for the re-election of the president to resume,” after which she stated that “we need President Bukele to stay. longer … “, adding that” We want him to be reelected because we know he won’t finish all his works in five years. “
In view of this, attorney Anaya recalls in his trial that the constitution provided in her article as an assumption of loss of citizenship rights for “ an attack on one of the fundamental pillars of the Salvadoran political, democratic and constitutional system, such as the alternation in the exercise of the presidency of the Republic, which is one of the hard clauses of the constitutional requirements ”.
She therefore calls for the loss of the candidate’s citizenship rights, in particular her right to vote and stand as a candidate.
