Managua -
The Nicaraguan Parliament is divided Thursday over a bill from the opposition to annul the recent municipal elections, which the governing Sandinistas say is illegal.
"I want to state clearly that the National Assembly has no faculties to comment on electoral matters," president of that legislative power, Daniel Nunez, from the governing Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN), said some days ago.
The parliamentary leader warned that the country will not notify the parliamentary executive board, while legislators from the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC) insist on including the electoral issue in the legislative agenda.
The Liberal initiative has also been defined by experts in constitutional affairs, as Supreme Electoral Court (CSE) Judge Rafael Solis, as "nonsense.
"PLC deputies also resist all arguments against them, and painstakingly seek the 47 votes the need to annul the November 9 elections, in which the FSLN won 105 of 146 mayor's offices in dispute.
According to the main Nicaraguan opposition party, arguing an alleged massive fraud by the CSE to favor the Sandinistas, there are some precedents that the National Assembly has approved an ordinary bill with constitutional reach.
The single-chamber parliament is paralyzed, when the 2009 general budget and other laws that include outlays and credits valued at $93 million have not been approved, Sandinista legislator Walmaro Gutierrez stated.
