Las diputadas Claudia Dobles Camargo y Abril Gordienko López presentaron un recurso de amparo ante la Sala Constitucional contra la Presidenta de la Asamblea Legislativa, Yara Jiménez, tras considerar que una reciente decisión vulneró sus derechos parlamentarios y sentó un precedente peligroso para la democracia costarricense.

Ambas legisladoras solicitaron formalmente realizar una permuta entre sus participaciones en las comisiones legislativas permanentes especiales.

Argumentaron que el Reglamento de la Asamblea Legislativa reconoce expresamente este derecho y no impone restricciones en cuanto a la pertenencia a diferentes fracciones legislativas.

Sin embargo, la Presidencia Legislativa denegó la solicitud bajo el argumento de que las permutas no pueden realizarse entre diputadas de fracciones distintas, lo que las legisladoras calificaron como una interpretación arbitraria y carente de fundamento legal.

Según el comunicado, la resolución impugnada excede las competencias de la Presidencia Legislativa y crea una restricción inexistente en la normativa interna, lo que constituye una afectación directa a los derechos fundamentales de representación política.

Dobles y Gordienko sostienen que la permuta propuesta cumplía con todos los requisitos: ambas son titulares en sus respectivas comisiones, la solicitud se presentó en el plazo reglamentario y ninguna ostenta la presidencia de las comisiones involucradas.

Además, el intercambio no alteraría la representación partidaria ni la paridad de género, ya que se trata de una permuta entre dos mujeres.

La controversia cobra relevancia pública porque las comisiones legislativas son espacios esenciales donde se discuten y dictaminan proyectos de impacto nacional. Impedir de manera arbitraria la participación de representantes electos, según las diputadas, debilita la representación democrática y el respeto al Estado de Derecho.

La Sala Constitucional ha reiterado en resoluciones anteriores que la permuta es un derecho parlamentario funcional y que la Presidencia Legislativa no puede vetarlo por criterios políticos siempre y cuando se cumplan los requisitos formales. Al desconocer dicha jurisprudencia, la Asamblea Legislativa podría exponerse a una condena constitucional con consecuencias institucionales y patrimoniales.

La diputada Abril Gordienko López advirtió que la decisión afecta especialmente a las fracciones unipersonales, que solo pueden ejercer el derecho de permuta con legisladores de otros partidos. Negar esta posibilidad genera una desigualdad injustificada y vulnera el principio de igualdad parlamentaria. Claudia Dobles Camargo, por su parte, subrayó que “no se puede permitir que interpretaciones arbitrarias vacíen de contenido los derechos que la ley garantiza a las diputaciones, ya que ello sienta un precedente peligroso para el funcionamiento democrático del Parlamento”.

Ambas legisladoras manifestaron que seguirán participando activamente en las comisiones y cumpliendo sus responsabilidades, pero defenderán por todas las vías legales el respeto a la Constitución, el Reglamento Legislativo y los derechos de todas las diputaciones. “Defender estos derechos, concluyeron, es también defender el derecho de la ciudadanía a una Asamblea Legislativa plural, respetuosa de la ley y libre de abusos desde la Presidencia legislativa”.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill accused ICE on Wednesday of denying her access to Delaney Hall, a Newark immigration detention facility that has become the focus of lawsuits, protests and allegations of unsafe, as scrutiny intensifies over allegations of unsafe conditions inside the center.

«ICE is denying me entry to Delaney Hall — raising serious questions about what is happening behind its walls,» Sherrill wrote on X.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Sherrill’s office to clarify whether she attempted to access the facility Wednesday or was referring to an ongoing dispute over access.

The Democratic governor previously attempted to visit the detention center over Memorial Day weekend but was denied entry, according to local reports.

Sherrill said she recently met with family members of individuals being held at the facility and heard allegations about unsafe conditions.

«Last night in Jersey City, I met with families whose loved ones are being detained there,» Sherrill wrote. «What I heard only deepened my concerns.»

«Families shared heartbreaking reports of unsafe, inhumane, and unconstitutional conditions — detainees being denied access to proper medical care and medication, violence and intimidation, threats of losing phone and video access, visitation privileges being taken away, and deeply troubling accounts of detainees being pressured to sign deportation papers with no translation,» she continued.

Sherrill said she would continue pushing for accountability and improved conditions at the facility while reiterating her support for ultimately shutting it down.

The governor’s comments came after New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced this week that the state had filed suit against GEO Group Inc., the private company contracted by the Department of Homeland Security to operate the detention center.

The lawsuit seeks access for the New Jersey Department of Health to inspect the facility after state and local officials, including Sherrill, were allegedly denied entry. The filing also references reports that some detainees have launched a hunger strike over conditions inside the center.

The Department of Homeland Security dismissed the lawsuit as «frivolous.»

A DHS spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital that detainees are provided three meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap and other basic necessities.

Sherrill has also faced criticism from Newark officials, activists and law-enforcement supporters over her response to demonstrations outside the facility.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said Tuesday he disagreed with tactics used by the New Jersey State Police after they were deployed to secure the area around Delaney Hall, describing the agency as «a sword.»

On Saturday, Sherrill defended the deployment, saying the New Jersey State Police Public Safety Response Team was sent to the area because it was «absolutely necessary to protect public safety and avoid escalation.»

Marcha universitaria contra el gobierno de Kast en Chile: estudiantes se enfrentaron con la policía

Published

on


La policía antimotines se enfrentó este miércoles a estudiantes que participaron en Santiago en una multitudinaria marcha contra los recortes fiscales impulsados por el gobierno del ultraderechista José Antonio Kast.

Bajo la consigna “¡La educación se defiende en las calles!”, la Confederación de Estudiantes de Chile (Confech) busca reactivar el movimiento estudiantil y reclama contra el drástico ajuste en Educación, con un recorte de 197,7 mil millones de pesos chilenos (221 millones de dólares al cambio de hoy), concentrado principalmente en Educación Superior, según indicó Radio Biobío.

El recorrido de la marcha no fue autorizado por la Delegación Presidencial de la Región Metropolitana. Los primeros incidentes ocurrieron cerca de la casa central de la Universidad Católica. Carabineros desplegó carros hidrantes y lanzó gases lacrimógenos. Los estudiantes respondieron con piedras.

Debido a las manifestaciones, Metro de Santiago informó que las estaciones Universidad Católica y Santa Lucía permanecieron cerradas.

Aunque la policía no emitió un reporte de los enfrentamientos, que duraron alrededor de una hora, se observó al menos una decena de detenidos, entre ellos una mujer que terminó con su rostro ensangrentado.

“No más recortes, no es ajuste es robo” o “con los recortes, la salud no pasa de agosto”, decían algunas de las pancartas que levantaban los manifestantes.

Kast, abogado de 60 años, asumió en marzo con la promesa de imponer recortes de los gastos del Estado para equilibrar las cuentas fiscales e impulsar la economía. Apenas inició su mandato ordenó una reducción del 3% en los gastos de todos los ministerios.

En medio de incidentes, Kast habló en el Congreso y dijo que el ajuste causará “dolor

Kast asumió el 11 de marzo con la promesa de imponer recortes de los gastos del Estado para equilibrar las cuentas fiscales e reimpulsar la economía.

A pocos días de llegar al poder, el gobernante ordenó un recorte del 3% promedio en todos los ministerios.

El presidente de Chile aseguró este lunes ante el Parlamento que su política de austeridad causará “dolor”, pero reiteró que no habrá recortes en ayudas y derechos sociales.

No será rápido, va a haber dolor. No les voy a prometer milagros, pero sí les prometo que vamos a recuperar el orden de las cuentas públicas”, indicó el mandatario durante su primer discurso sobre el estado del país en la sede del Congreso, en Valparaíso.

Además, afirmó: “Vamos a devolverle credibilidad a las cifras fiscales de Chile y vamos a poner el crecimiento económico en el centro”.

Kast dijo que la situación económica y fiscal de Chile “es incluso más compleja” de lo que creía antes de llegar al poder, el 11 de marzo, y justificó su ambicioso plan de ajustes, con el que aspira a recortar 6000 millones de dólares en 18 meses.

“Habrá presiones, habrá ruido, habrá días duros. Nuestro Gobierno no se va a desviar del camino. Ante el dilema entre la popularidad y la responsabilidad, elegimos siempre la responsabilidad. Porque la popularidad pasa, pero las consecuencias de gobernar mal las pagan, durante años, las familias chilenas”, indicó el líder del Partido Republicano chileno.

Kast, el primer mandatario de extrema derecha desde el regreso a la democracia en Chile, tuvo un inicio de mandato complejo, marcado por una abrupta caída de su popularidad en las encuestas y por un anticipado cambio de gabinete, apenas dos meses después de llegar al cargo, en el que removió a su vocera y a la ministra de Seguridad.

A fines de mayo, la Cámara de Diputados de Chile aprobó la megarreforma legislativa impulsada por Kast para impulsar la economía, unos cambios que la oposición de izquierda considera que solo favorecen a los más ricos.

Advertisement

El plan propone como principal medida la rebaja gradual del impuesto a la renta de las empresas, del 27% al 23%, cercano al promedio de los países desarrollados.

Según el gobierno, la meta es lograr en cuatro años que el desempleo caiga al 6,5%, la economía crezca alrededor del 4% anual (desde el 2,5% del año pasado) y mantener el balance fiscal en “equilibrio”.

Fox News Poll: Democratic unity, Republican crossovers shape Ohio Senate race

Published

on



NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump carried Ohio by more than 11 percentage points in 2024, but a new Fox News survey finds his standing in the Buckeye State has deteriorated — a development that is benefitting Democrat Sherrod Brown in the Senate race.

By a 15-point margin, Ohioans view Trump negatively: 42% hold a favorable opinion and 57% an unfavorable one. That’s more than a 20-point swing compared to his +6 net positive rating (52-46%) in the November 2024 Ohio Fox News Voter Analysis election survey.

The poll of Ohio voters, released Wednesday, finds Trump’s ratings are about on par with views of Republican incumbent Senator Jon Husted (41% favorable, 50% unfavorable), while challenger and former Ohio Senator Brown is viewed significantly more positively (53% vs. 44%).

That helps Brown outperform Husted by a 53% to 45% margin in the race to fill the state’s Senate seat.  His 8-point lead is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error.

FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS SEE AI REGULATION AS URGENT, RANK SAFEGUARDS AHEAD OF INNOVATION

Brown garners fully 98% support among Democrats compared to Husted’s 86% among Republicans.  Brown also receives backing from outside the democratic base: 31% of non-MAGA Republicans and 13% of all Republicans.  Only 2% of Democrats pick Husted. 

Husted is favored by White evangelical Christians (+32 points), rural voters (+11), and White men without a college degree (+7).  Brown is preferred by voters under age 35 (+33), independents (+18), and women (+14).

Non-white voters favor Brown by 58 points, while the race is a dead heat among White voters (49% each).  And the candidates are nearly tied among voters ages 45 and over (49-48%), while Brown leads by 23 points among those under age 45.

The candidates are competing for the Senate seat Husted currently holds after being appointed to replace JD Vance when Vance became vice president. Brown is hoping to return to the U.S. Senate after he narrowly lost his seat to Bernie Moreno in 2024. 

About 7 in 10 of both Brown’s (73%) and Husted’s supporters (69%) are certain of their choice. Overall, about one in four say they may change their mind before voting.

By a 6-point margin, more Democrats (82%) than Republicans (76%) say they are extremely or very motivated to vote this November. 

Most Brown supporters, 68%, describe their vote as mainly for him rather than against Husted (30%).  Those who are backing Husted are less enthusiastic about their candidate, with 58% saying their support is mainly for him rather than against Brown (39%).

In a state Trump carried with 55% of the vote, the survey finds being too close to him is now more of a liability than being too liberal.  Some 39% of Ohioans are concerned Brown is «too liberal,» including 13% of his supporters. For Husted, 46% overall are worried he is «too close» to Trump, including 10% of his backers. 

Inflation dominates, with 43% saying it is the most important issue in their Senate vote.  All others trail far behind, including healthcare (12%), immigration and border security (11%,) political divisions (9%), jobs (8%), Iran (7%), abortion and crime (4% each).  Notably, inflation is the top issue among independents (50%), Democrats (44%), Republicans (40%), MAGA (34%), and 2024 Trump voters (39%).

Voters focused on inflation favor Brown by 14 points, as do healthcare voters by 44 points, while those prioritizing immigration and border security go for Husted by 76.

On their family’s financial situation, 39% of Ohio voters say they are falling behind, up from 32% who said the same in the 2024 FNVA survey.  The largest number, 49%, say their family is holding steady, down 9 points.

«There’s good reason for the Democrats to be bullish on Ohio,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News polls with Democrat Chris Anderson. «The state remains solidly Republican, but Democrats are united against Trump allies and independents prefer Brown.»

In the race for governor, Ohio voters are divided: half back Democrat Amy Acton (50%) and nearly half favor Republican Vivek Ramaswamy (49%). Fourteen percent who prefer Brown in the Senate race cross-party lines to support Ramaswamy.

Most Democrats (93%) go for Acton, while most Republicans favor Ramaswamy (89%). Independents back Acton by 8 points (51-43%).

Nearly twice as many Acton supporters (38%) as Ramaswamy backers (21%) say their vote is mainly «against» the other candidate.

Seven in 10 of each candidate’s supporters are certain of their choice.

Although views of Acton are positive by 9 points (46% favorable vs. 37% unfavorable), 16% are unable to rate her. Ramaswamy’s ratings are positive by 1 point (45-44%), while Vance’s are underwater by 7 (45-52%), and opinion splits on sitting GOP Gov. Mike DeWine (48-48%).

CLICK HERE FOR CROSSTABS AND TOPLINE

By more than 2-to-1, Buckeye voters oppose having an AI data center built in their area (32% favor, 65% oppose).  That opposition is across the political spectrum, as majorities of Democrats (72%), independents (64%), and Republicans (59%) are against building data centers.

Conducted May 28-June 1, 2026 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,015 Ohio registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file.  Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (109) and cellphones (653) or completed the survey online after receiving a text message (253).  Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ± 3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher.  In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.  Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population.  Results among subgroups are only shown when the sample size is at least N=100.
