The president of the Central Electoral Board, Julio Cesar Castanos, said yesterday that the Law of Political Parties, approved by the Chamber of Deputies, could be declared unconstitutional unless the source of its funding is established. Castanos explained laws need to say where the funds will come from.
He also commented it would be necessary to wait until the President signs the law to determine if the parties that have set their dates for their primaries will change them. The new Law of Political Parties establishes all parties have to hold primaries on the same day.
The bill may not be passed after all. The Senate needs to pass the bill before Saturday, or it will expire in Congress.
