The disagreements within the Central Electoral Board (JCE) Plenary were in evidence even in their proposals for a solution to the crisis generated by the Computer Center. Yesterday four of the five members of this section of the JCE contradicted each in their suggestions for ending the conflict. Judge Rosario Graciano, who seldom speaks to the media, said yesterday that in order to resolve the stalemate, the JCE Plenary should come together and then reach a consensus with the political parties. Although she said, echoing the words of Judge Cesar Feliz Feliz, that "we'll soon have a solution" to the problem, none of the magistrates was clear about how this would happen, due to the fact that it has not been dealt with even amongst themselves.

"I believe that soon we will have a solution and I believe that what is needed for this solution is for the Plenary to come together with the participation of the political parties," said Graciano, as she admitted that this body "has not touched upon the solution." She said that "as an entity of moderation it is evident that the Plenary is not united." She recognized, moreover, that JCE president Roberto Rosario has not brought up the issue at the Plenary meetings held to resolve this problem, but the judges have only heard proposals from Judge Eddy Olivares and the president himself. When she was asked about the suggestion from some quarters that the JCE should convene the parties in order to reach a solution by consensus, she stressed that the institution already did so in a public hearing where all parties had put forward their positions and that the majority accepted the JCE president's proposal. But according to Judge Eddy Olivares, the solution will only be reached when Roberto Rosario is willing to do so and takes into account "the country's fundamental political leadership." He thinks that the JCE should search for a solution to the problem this week, because there "is no justification for provoking unnecessary doubts."
