***Ebal Díaz and Ricardo Cardona obtained Nicaraguan nationality, the country where they reside after leaving power last January.The General Coordinator of the Special Commission for Reengineering and Innovation of the National Party, Áfrico Madrid Hart, considered that, after renouncing Honduran nationality and adopting Nicaraguan, former officials Ebal Díaz and Ricardo Cardona should be removed from the census and affiliation of said political institute.Due to the above, Madrid suggested to the Court of Partisan Justice to create a file to order the aforementioned measure against the former ministers who served during the mandate of the former president extradited to the United States, Juan Orlando Hernández (2014-2022)."They renounced Honduras, they also indirectly renounced the National Party and I suppose that now in Nicaragua they are going to join some political party (...) of those related to the Government of Nicaragua," Madrid said.Similarly, he said that the Court of Partisan Justice must investigate whether other members of the institution are following in the footsteps of Díaz and Cardona to also remove them from the party.“There are no circumstances for an expulsion (…) (but) they cannot continue to enjoy the rights that we nationalists enjoy here in Honduras,” he pointed out.This is how Madrid reacted after criticism of the National Party after learning that former ministers Ebal Díaz and Ricardo Cardona were naturalized Nicaraguans, presumably to evade justice in Honduras in the face of eventual accusations in court.The former secretary of the Presidency of the government of Juan Orlando Hernández, Ebal Díaz, obtained Nicaraguan nationality, the country where he lives after leaving power last January.The nationalization was made official in La Gaceta this Friday, January 17, in addition to other Hondurans, including the former private secretary, Ricardo Cardona, his wife and his son.Díaz had an open investigation for alleged corruption in the past administration.As reported by the CNA, in the container house project in Lomas del Diamante in Tegucigalpa there was a loss of 69 million lempiras for which it filed a complaint against Díaz and other former officials.In this sense, the complaints filed were in the investigation stage for alleged acts of corruption.The former official in the governments of former President Juan Orlando Hernández Alvarado is being investigated for the misuse of public funds, being the president of the Board of Directors of the Project Coordination Unit (UCP), the body in charge of the housing project called "Development of Morazán Residences".GO/Hondu© 2021 |Honduran |All rights reserved
