“The Prosecutor’s Office is usurping functions that correspond to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal”: Cesia Rivas 2024-02-23 02:39:10

This Friday in the Encuentro interview with Julio Villagrán, the general secretary of the VAMOS party, Cesia Rivas assured that the ruling party has wanted to disguise pluralism by alliance, following the PCN obtained 2 deputies and the PDC 1. “It is not equal to alliance and even less to allies.â€he indicated.

These statements were made following ruling party media stated that ARENA wants to form a broad coalition with opposition parties. “We have made complaints together with ARENA, requests to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal collectively, but they say whoever makes them imagines them, because the one who is already unifying and empowering their people is Nuevas Ideas, they call it pluralism because they already have 2 deputies from the PCN and 1 from the PDCâ€Rivas said.

The politician also reaffirmed that pluralism is not the same as an alliance, much less allies, and she also pointed out that during the vote count there was a considerable amount of “ballots pressed in favor of the PCN and PDC”, which was ±aló as “spoken compadre†.

Regarding the counting of votes, Rivas assured that the Attorney General’s Office is demanding that the signatures not be counted, when the Supreme Electoral Tribunal indicated that if it might be done, for the general secretary of VAMOS, this is being prohibited so that at the time an audit is carried out, the number of signatures can match the number of altered ballots.

“The Prosecutor’s Office is usurping functions of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, in the absence of them (TSE Magistrates) because we see them in interviews, there at the hotel, we see them that they are only passing by. Only Judge Olivo has had the dignity of documenting all those things with which he does not agree, as have the substitute magistrates, the other four, what a shame.â€.

Rivas highlighted that the Court had $70 million dollars to carry out these elections, and that to this day the system continues to fail and that there are no official results, when in other elections they were already published 3 days later.

Finally, he explained that until now they have not given the results of the elections abroad, since if the votes are not what Nuevas Ideas expected, they will use the vote abroad as a wildcard so that the ruling party continues to have the majority in the Legislative Assembly.
