The National Commission on Electoral Reforms requested the judges of the Tribunal Electoral (TE) to request the National Assembly withdraw the draft of electoral reforms, since it believes there is enough time to implement them before the 2014 elections. TE Judge Gerardo Solis said that the commission also decided that the reforms should be considered one of the first priorities of the next government.
According to Solis, the withdrawal of the reforms will be the best way to ensure peace and tranquility during the election.
Solís said that the commission is also recommending that the reforms be approved as presented, as they were developed through a process of negotiation with various political parties and civic groups. “It is not suitable for the country to discuss the reforms in an atmosphere of mistrust that can degenerate into acts that will break the harmony of society,” the judge remarked.
