The nomination was scheduled to end this Thursday in order to take the candidates to an election process on December 15. However, there are sectors that suggest postponing these elections because, although they consider the figure to speed up the procedural delay as positive, the legal framework that will cover them for their powers, as well as the stipend they will receive and other things is not ready yet.
The director of the micondominio.com portal, Elías Santana, proposed helping from that instance to the training of justices of the peace and that the elections can be extended to March 30, this with the objective that a solid regulation can be developed that allows those elected to serve as justices of the peace and comply with the requirements of the law, since it warns that they cannot serve until they are trained to do so by the Judiciary.
