Overview

• Fiscal de la Nación Delia Espinoza submitted a 300‑plus‑page request alleging Fuerza Popular engaged in systematic antidemocratic conduct, including legitimizing violence and promoting attacks on magistrates, officials, opponents and journalists.
• The petition formalizes a citizen complaint filed in March 2025, which the Prosecutor’s Office says it substantiated with information and evidence.
• Prime Minister Eduardo Arana denied any government pressure on institutions and accused the Prosecutor’s Office of judicializing politics, asserting it cannot determine which parties compete in 2026.
• The Justice Ministry issued a statement rejecting what it called the instrumentalization of the Inter‑American human‑rights system and reaffirmed that Amnesty Law No. 32419 remains fully applicable for the judiciary.
• Renovación Popular opposed the request, defending unrestricted electoral participation, while legal specialists said only the Supreme Court can rule on the case under Article 14 and urged a prompt decision given the April 12, 2026 vote.
