This Monday on the Platform program, the economist José Luis Magaña spoke regarding the elections of February 4, where he recalled that in this process important changes were made less than a year before the election, something that according to electoral standards should not be made, since the rules of the elections must be clear a year in advance, “that was the result of February 4.
One of the changes that Magaña mentioned was from the method of quotients and residues to that of absolute votes. The previous method is to give proportionality to the Legislative Assembly, since the minimum amount of the population also It must have representation, he explained.
“The new territorial administration will have an impact on the vote counting in the March 3 elections, just as happened on 4F where the system failed in the vote counting process, being carried out manually,” he said. .
Furthermore, he indicated that “in this scenario there is a big loser in this process, which is the Salvadoran citizenry, because this process does not allow us to trust the institutions that must guarantee that there is no doubt regarding the results.”
For Magaña, having doubts regarding the results means that elected officials do not have sufficient legitimacy; Therefore, she also considered that the elected deputies are the second losers of this process with many irregularities and which has questionable legitimacy.
