The plenary session of the National Assembly accepted on Thursday morning the resignation presented by María Alejandra Vicuña to the position of vice president, to defend herself against accusations that linked her to theso-called “Diezmos case”

After receiving the document, Elizabeth Cabezas highlighted the nomination of Otto Sonnenholzner as the first of the short list, because he said that he is just a young entrepreneur, trained and linked to the media. “The experience is important to pay for the policy of reactivation, employment in our country,” he said.

Other parliamentarians such as Fabricio Villamar (CREO) and Luis Fernando Torres(PSC) announced their support for the list sent by the president.
