Selva Castiñeira, a political scientist, stated that there are five candidates, the main ones, among those who will fight for the presidency of the Republic in April 2023, they are Euclides Acevedo, “Payo” Cubas, José Luis Chilavert, Efraín Alegre and “Santi” Pena.
“Particularly in these elections where we use electronic ballot boxes, it created complexity when voting. Mainly for older adults who were not very familiar with it, others, on the other hand, when forming long lines decided to return to their homes, due to various factors such as the World Cup final, the excessive heat and the time lost in them. The parties should see how to train, ”he commented.
He pointed out that for the next elections, political parties can take into account the factor of lack of training and train citizens to use voting machines.
“The only way for the opposition to come to power will be when they all form a great agreement. In the internal ones a liberal supremacy was seen, when the ideal is that they arrive unified as a Concertación ”, he stated.
Finally, he maintained that he did not see much opening in the internal ones by Efraín Alegre, so he will have to dialogue with all sectors, from now on, to achieve victory in the generals.
