In his same statement, the presidential candidate warned that, even if the party regrets placing an electoral strip in a media outlet, the money would not be returned and the ONPE would have to pass on electoral education information so as not to lose advertising.
“What a great deal. If a party regrets that contribution, they should take away the media’s contribution; enough of so much corruption, of laws made only to benefit themselves,” he said.
“I insist: the parties should not receive even a single electoral strip (…) This shows that everything is the same poverty as always,” he said.
