The controversy resurfaced earlier this year, when it became clear that the former president had failed to issue a new decree delegating some of his powers to his deputy at the start of their second term in office in January 2006.
Afera je ponovno izbila ranije ove godine, kada je postalo jasno da bivši predsjednik, na početku drugog mandata u siječnju 2006. godine, nije donio novi ukaz kojim bi se neke od njegovih ovlasti prenijele na njegova zamjenika.
