Nevertheless, Castle never announced this initiative.
What happened? After Castillo’s speech, Vasquez Torres argued that “At the last minute” the president decided not to announce the request for early elections.
“There has been a lack of an announcement that at the last minute the president decided not to make, because he told me: ‘Doctor, we are going to make one last attempt to negotiate in Congress. To correct this political instability that exists, it is necessary that we agree to face the great problems that the country has”. For that reason, he did not make the advance announcement of the general elections, ”he declared on the outskirts of Government palace.
The lawyer explained that the dignitary does not have as part of his powers to advance the elections. For this, you need a Constitutional reformwhich can only be given by the Congress of the republic with 87 votes in two terms or 67 in one term plus a referendum.
“The plan of the President of the Republic was to announce the early elections (…) Why did the president go to speak to Congress if he was not going to propose anything, if he was going to reiterate what he said Hannibal Torresif he was not going to answer the accusations against him in the vacancy motion?
