Paraguay’s indoor Colorado party is red-hot. The Fuerza Republicana movement, which belongs to the executive sector, has announced that it will initiate legal actions against the provisions of the Partisan Electoral Tribunal of the National Republican Association (ANR), after the reduction of seats in Argentina, in view of the internal elections on December 18. .
Of the 14 polling stations that Argentina was enabled during the previous elections, they have been reduced to just three for the next competitions in December, while as many tables will be maintained.
The candidate for the vice-presidency of Fuerza Republicana, Juan Ma Brunettihe described the decision as unconstitutional and that it benefits the sector of former president Horacio Cartés, who did not get candidates in the 11 Sections where the TEP intends to leave without the possibility of election.
He recalled that in the 2017 internal elections, there were 6,714 qualified colorados in Argentina and they had already paid in 14 locations. And for these inmates on December 18, 2022, the number of Colorado eligible to vote increased to 10,065. which are intended to limit to 3 positions.
The complaints
He adds that the voting places have been approved and notified in advance by this TEP, these correspond to 1 place for each Sectional Commission in the Argentine Republic. “At this point in the process, one venue cannot be changed, or in this case, 11 voting venues by unilateral and at least reckless decision by this Court,” she said.
He also explained that the election to elect the president of the sectional authorities and other parties must necessarily take place in the jurisdiction of the sectional commission, since the Paraguayan electoral system is built on the grouping of voters based on their residence.
“With this arbitrary provision the elector it has to travel great distances (such as those that exist between one point and another in the Argentine Republic), a situation that totally collides with the spirit of the voter’s proximity to his polling station “, he stressed.
There are 2,616,424 Paraguayan citizens affiliated with the ANR, who will be able to vote in the elections of their party. However, they will also have the possibility of choosing to vote in those within the National Concertation, which brings together the opposition parties, and which will be held simultaneously. You will not be able to vote in both spaces.
