The National Primary Commission (CP) It still has several aspects to settle in view of the election of the presidential candidate of the Unitary Platform. The unknown about the date of these elections scheduled for Sunday, October 22, was already cleared up on February 15.

In the recent presentation During the ceremony at the El Hatillo amphitheater, Casal said that the Preliminary Register of Candidates, which will be held from May 8 to 23, was created with two fundamental objectives: first, to define the voluntary contributions of candidates “which does not mean that you cannot talk about it» and, secondly, also to observe what is happening with the elaboration of the minimum government program.
“As stated in the Primary Regulations of the Unitary Platform, one of the conditions to apply is to have signed the minimum government program,” said Casal.
He insisted that a great effort must be made so that the consultations on the program gather the opinion of the unions, universities, unions and civil society, so that “it is not a simple agreement between pre-candidates who become candidates.
At the same time, the president of the Primary Commission maintained that they are working on the regulations for the election on October 22, a task that was entrusted to the lawyer Mildred Cameromember of this instance.
Jesús María Casal indicated that he is looking for equity in financing by the candidates, while the electoral campaign regulations it will seek to “avoid” advantage through “a dynamic of respect.”

Casal also said that a “broad interpretation” of the regulation was made to generate spaces for early information on political factors. That is why the Electoral Technical Advisory Commission, cHis conformation, he said, reveals that plurality of political factors that join the commission, some of them with pre-candidates and other representatives of parties that support the process: “You have to add, there is no other way.”
