La pulseada por uno de los cargos de mayor peso institucional ya est\u00e1 en marcha. A diez d\u00edas del cierre de inscripciones, siete postulantes oficializaron sus candidaturas para ocupar la Defensor\u00eda del Pueblo y la Defensor\u00eda Adjunta, en un proceso que volver\u00e1 a poner a prueba la capacidad de consenso entre el Senado y la C\u00e1mara de Diputados.<\/p>\n
La \u00faltima en sumarse fue M\u00f3nica Alejandra Villalba Cabral, funcionaria de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, quien se inscribi\u00f3 para ambos cargos. Se une as\u00ed a Federico G\u00e9nez, Isidro Mi\u00f1o, Alejandro Magno Castillo, \u00c1lex Ben\u00edtez, Alicia Alvarenga y Gilberto Maldonado. Sin embargo, en los pasillos del Congreso ya se da por hecho que la n\u00f3mina seguir\u00e1 creciendo hasta el 10 de agosto, fecha l\u00edmite para presentar candidaturas.<\/p>\n
El proceso cobra especial relevancia porque el mandato del actual defensor del Pueblo, Rafael \u00c1vila, concluye el 10 de noviembre. La Constituci\u00f3n establece que el Senado deber\u00e1 conformar una terna y que la C\u00e1mara de Diputados tendr\u00e1 la \u00faltima palabra en la elecci\u00f3n. Como ocurre con otros cargos de alta sensibilidad pol\u00edtica, las negociaciones entre bancadas prometen ser intensas y la definici\u00f3n final depender\u00e1 tanto de los m\u00e9ritos de los postulantes como de los acuerdos que se tejan en el Congreso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
