Business sectors are also concerned. On the occasion of an Association of Industries event, Federation of Industries president Ignacio Mendez told Hoy newspaper reporters that pre-candidacy campaigning has negative effects on government, when government officers give priority to the campaigning over their government roles. "That is an outrage and will continue being the fact that party politics continue being so immersed in government". Jesus Moreno, Herrera Industries Association president advocated that the Electoral Law be met and politicians should begin their campaign six months before the election date, and not two years in advance, as is happening now, so that the government officers can do their jobs.
The new president of the Association of Industries, Manuel Diez Cabral told Hoy when commenting on government officers leaving their jobs to promote presidential re-election: "Well, I believe that when the authorities of this country do that, the economy is affected. That is we should all try to fix the country's principal problems, especially as there are almost two years to go for the next election".
