Governor-elect Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said today, Sunday, that he supports the nomination of Maritere Brignoni to the Supreme Court.
In a thread on the social network Twitter, Pierluisi Urrutia published that he expects the Senate Chamber to judge the nominations fairly.
“The fact that there are other qualified people for the position should not be a valid reason for rejecting the selection of the governor, and, on the contrary, should receive wide respect and attention,” he added.
Likewise, Pierluisi Urrutia noted that he acknowledges the work of Kermit Lucena, who had been appointed as a controller by Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced.
“Our constitution gives the governor the power to appoint and the legislators to determine whether the person selected is qualified to take the position,” he explained.
The fact that there are other qualified persons for the position should not be a valid reason for rejecting the selection of the governor, and should instead receive wide respect and consideration. (6/6)
