Consultation for the Right to Self-Determination
The Popular Consultation for the Right to Self-Determination of Nahuizalco is recognized in its ordinance. It recognizes that the indigenous communities of this community have the right to self-determination and the municipality must therefore ensure that this right is fully exercised with the objective of progressively promoting the economic, political and social development of these communities. It also establishes that, to develop the process of popular consultation, it will seek the assistance of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in order to ensure the legitimacy of such a process.
