According to Carreira, this collection process has become a “crisis.” “I think the Electoral Tribunal has been a bit surprised by the sheer number of candidates and the use of all these platforms,” she said.
The lawyer and pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic for the free nomination, Francisco “Paco” Carreira, referred to the irregularities that have been maintained since last August 15, the day the process of collecting signatures began.
According to Carreira, this collection process has become a “crisis.” “I think the Electoral Tribunal has been a bit surprised by the sheer number of candidates and the use of all these platforms,” she said.
He alluded to the so-called kiosks that the TE set up, mentioning that when the process began there were 38 and then the entity assured that it would install more than 100, but to date “it is inconceivable that a city like David and La Chorrera only have a single kiosk “.
The lawyer stressed that despite all these inconsistencies, about 1,600 pre-candidates for free candidacy have accepted this challenge, which he considers will not be easy because “here there is a domination of the parties and this comes from the Assembly.”
