According to the CC resolution, the amparo was presented on January 25, 2024 and the act claimed was “the certain and imminent threat of the approval and issuance of a legislative agreement” by Congress that sought to reestablish the elected deputies as a legislative block. by the Seed Movement.
He also complained about the threat of the approval and issuance of legislative agreements through which the distribution of work commissions and the appointment of independent deputies as presidents of commissions could be carried out.
Although the threats reported by the Vamos deputies refer to possible future events, specifically the approval and issuance of agreements in Congress, “these acquire immediate relevance in the context of the safeguarding of fundamental rights,” according to the resolution.
“The urgency and severity of the reported threats justify the immediate promotion of protection, without the need to previously exhaust parliamentary mechanisms that could be ineffective or insufficient to prevent irreparable damage to fundamental guarantees,” he points out.
In the resolution, the CC highlights that it grants the protection requested by Allan Estuardo Rodríguez Reyes, Greicy Domenica De León De León, Héctor Adolfo Aldana Reyes and Víctor Alfredo Valenzuela Argueta, as deputies to the Congress of the Republic.

The amparo was promoted against the Plenary Session of the Congress of the Republic.
On August 30, 2023, the Semilla Movement ceased to be a legislative bloc, as determined by the board of directors of the Legislative Body on that date, which was made up of deputies from the Vamos party and the National Unity of Hope.
