Basta citar un caso: Ana Josefa Velasco es desde 2010 procuradora judicial, por lo cual ha sido nombrada y mantenida en ese cargo por Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez, mientras que su esposo, Leonidas Bustos, es magistrado de la Corte Suprema desde 2008.<br \/>\nAhora bien, el art\u00edculo 126 de la Constituci\u00f3n, para evitar el nepotismo y los carruseles de favores, proh\u00edbe que un funcionario nombre a familiares muy cercanos, como esposas, hermanos o hasta primos, de los \u201cservidores p\u00fablicos competentes para intervenir en su designaci\u00f3n\u201d. Como el procurador puede ser ternado por la Corte Suprema, entonces el magistrado Bustos era competente para intervenir en la designaci\u00f3n de Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez. El procurador viol\u00f3 entonces esa prohibici\u00f3n constitucional, y eso es una falta disciplinaria grav\u00edsima, que amerita destituci\u00f3n e inhabilitaci\u00f3n para ocupar cargos p\u00fablicos. Por hechos menos graves y menos claros, Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez ha impuesto este tipo de dr\u00e1sticas sanciones a otros funcionarios.<br \/>\nPodr\u00eda objetarse que, al parecer, el magistrado Bustos no vot\u00f3 la semana pasada parar ternar a Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez. Pero ese hecho es irrelevante pues en todo caso Bustos era competente para intervenir en esa decisi\u00f3n, sin que interese si vot\u00f3 o no. Y quien cometi\u00f3 la falta disciplinaria es el procurador al nombrar y mantener en su cargo a la esposa de un magistrado competente para ternarlo.<br \/>\nOtros podr\u00edan argumentar que el procurador no hizo nada ilegal pues la designaci\u00f3n de la se\u00f1ora Velasco fue hace dos a\u00f1os, antes de que Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez anunciara su b\u00fasqueda de la reelecci\u00f3n. Pero ese reparo tampoco es convincente, pues la Constituci\u00f3n no distingue temporalmente sino que le proh\u00edbe absolutamente a todo funcionario nombrar a los familiares de quienes incidan en su designaci\u00f3n. Y en todo caso, al buscar su reelecci\u00f3n, Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez debi\u00f3 inmediatamente pedir la renuncia de todos los funcionarios de libre nombramiento que fueran familiares cercanos de los magistrados, lo cual no hizo.<br \/>\nEsta violaci\u00f3n de la Constituci\u00f3n por el procurador para hacerse reelegir reitera que es inconveniente que cualquier jefe de un organismo de control intente hacerse reelegir, como lo sostuve en alguna columna. Muestra adem\u00e1s que, contrariamente a lo que dijo el senador Barreras, el procurador no es un buen prefecto de disciplina pues \u00e9l mismo viola las reglas de disciplina. Si a eso agregamos que Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez se qued\u00f3 sin juez disciplinario, pues la Corte Suprema debe declararse impedida de investigarlo debido a que acaba de ternarlo, entonces s\u00f3lo queda una alternativa decente: el procurador debe autodestituirse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the Prosecutor Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez judged himself with the same strictness that he has used to apply disciplinary sanctions to other officers, he should remove himself grom office immediately, since it seems that he has infringed article 126 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","subcategory-public-policies","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u00bfShould the Prosecuter remove himself from office?
