Folder
This Monday, the INE is preparing to close the control phase of the judicial election process with a “folder” to investigations on the “accordions”, since it did not find evidence that they establish a financial connection between distributors and parties, governments, judicial candidates or political leaders.
However, there are open procedures on those listings in the Technical Unit of the Electoral Contentious (UTCE) of the INE, which will continue; Additionally, the beginning of other conscious procedures that will expand investigations without the peremptory times to be resolved inquiries related to the electoral process could be promoted.
It is expected long debate on this issue, given that the appearance of judicial candidates in those listings – which in the field of inspection will only be considered propaganda – and the dissemination through social networks, but by paying the advertising guideline, they are the two behaviors that would have marked the triumph or defeat of the judicial champions.
The INE would not have found links between the payment of accordions with the candidacies, with governments or with parties or their leaders.
As part of the inspection exercise of judicial campaigns, the INE Technical Unit of Inspection reviewed the income and expenses reports of all candidacies, in total 4,366 aspiring people.
