The dispute over control of the National Association of Agricultural Professionals (anpa) worsens and this Wednesday the current president of the entity, Danilo Severinorejected the elections carried out on Tuesday by one of the factions, which gives victory to an agronomist Fausto Tejada.
Severino stated that those elections “They are part of the plans of the current authorities of the Ministry of Agriculture” directed by the agricultural professional Límber Cruz and Freddy Fernández to, allegedly, subvert the institutional order of that entity.
He affirmed that “for the second time they promoted the carrying out of an illegal electoral process because it violates the statutes of the institution,” he maintained and that he also ignores the sentence 504-2022 of the judge of the referrals of the Civil and Commercial Chamber of the National District that he annulled for the same causes the first elections carried out on October 24, 2022, as well as resolutions of the Disciplinary Court of our union that sanctions the main actors responsible for these violations.
“The only purpose pursued by the authorities of the agricultural sector is to silence the voice of our union to put it at the service of their interests and continue the mistreatment and denial of the claims that by law and justice correspond to our professionals”said.
