The president of the Superior Court of Electoral Justice, Jaime Bestard, gave a press conference providing the details of what happened in the fire.
President Jaime Bestard said that they are worried about the fate of one of their officials, “About José Aníbal Ortiz, we do not have precise data. and within the premises there were 8,500 machines, I can’t say how many machines were affected, but it was surely the majority. We have already requested the intervention of the Prosecutor’s Office, he has already sent several prosecutors who are accessing the circuits ».
“They have insurance, it is in the contract and that is foreseen. It doesn’t alter the schedule at first, but maybe we can ask for a split. There are many more machines, there are 22 thousand machines. We are thinking of doing the internal ones a week apart, but the schedule essentially remains the same,” said Jaime Bestard.
Regarding the fire, President Bestard said: “I just spoke with the fire chief, he told me that the fire is contained but there is a danger that the place where the fire started will collapse.”
