The lawyer and pre-candidate for the free application, Francisco ‘Paco’ Carreira, reacted this morning to the decision adopted on the afternoon of this Monday, October 24, by the Electoral Court, to suspend the App for the collection of signatures.
“The App was a considerable investment of B/.36.00 for each cell phone, we expected it to be much more reliable than what it has ended up being,” he said.
He indicated that the audio must be independent and confirm the irregularities that have been reported. “The Electoral Court must guarantee that there are no signatures that arrived irregularly, at the same time that it is the first step, because the CAU must also be audited.”
“I have complaints from the CAU that I have presented to the Electoral Prosecutor’s Office and that are in the process of investigation, in which TE officials have changed the decision of a person to express support for me and the confirmation has reached another candidate,” he added. .
He stressed that the technology is very good and is used every day, but if this has shown that it is vulnerable in the process, a series of measures must be taken to prevent it from becoming an abuse.
Likewise, he reiterated that with this suspension while an audit is done it is good, but now you should not wait a long period to use an application, especially when it has been sold.
«They have to guarantee us that the application is going to be what they have actually wanted and they have told us it was going to be from the beginning, that has nothing to do with the audit, because after the application is guaranteed and have all the controls, I don’t see why it shouldn’t be used,” he said.
He mentioned that he personally has more than 100 applications, which represented an investment of 3,600.00 balboas, only in cost per use, so he hopes that it will provide the benefit.
