Good afternoon to you all.
The National Assembly has some explicit powers that are stated in our constitution. It cannot be that all laws that we have approved are now considered unconstitutional. To give you an example, we approved a law that has to do with the central bank and this law was declared unconstitutional although it would benefit the country. The supreme tribunal is telling us what to do now, but our powers are stated in the constitution. So they have no say in how we can regulate the laws we are instituting in our country.
Another example is that on December 6 there were elections for the new National Assembly in our country. We obtained two-thirds of the seats in the National Assembly, but on December 23, 2015, the former National Assembly, which was going to cease its functions a few days later, nominated some justices in order to try to balance the change that was going to happen. Members of the former National Assembly who were defeated and who lost became justices of the supreme tribunal, and some even voted for themselves to become justices of the supreme tribunal.
