Today's edition of "Que se dice," in Hoy takes a scathing look at recent developments at the Central Electoral Board (JCE). The article mentions yesterday's announcement by JCE judge Dr. Aura Celeste Fernandez that some departments in the JCE are composed of entire families, which she calls distortions in the payroll while at the same time JCE head Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman claims to have put an end to the squandering of JCE funds. This all comes at a time when a mafia is uncovered that is reported to have sold cedula identity cards to foreigners and drug dealers. The change in judges at the JCE has shed light on a tangled situation at the organization and has aired all of the JCE's dirty laundry. Revealing these situations has made it hard to believe that the former judges would mishandle these situations to such an extent, but what is most difficult to believe is that after the former judges presided over the institution and created this almost irreparable damage at the JCE, they were awarded such juicy pension plans for their "fantastic" service to the public. What a special country this is, exclaims the author.
