In August 2019 the National Assembly believed that members of the council had behaved unconstitutionally and they had started to review former decisions that a constitutional court had placed outside their jurisdiction. The assembly had four members removed after a vote in which 84 members voted in favour, José Tuárez, Walter Gómez, Victoria Desintonio and Chala were censored and dismissed from the council. Victoria Desintonio would later be elected as a member of the assembly. On 11 December a judge ruled that 84 members who dismissed Chala and her three colleagues had ignored Chalas constitutional rights and that she should be returned to the council. The assembly reacted with disagreement. On 18 December 2019 Chala said that she was initiating legal action concerning her case with the Inter-American Human Rights System.
