The president of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), Roberto Rosario, has called on the political parties to focus on the positive and avoid dirty campaigning, which he said violated the fundamental rights of citizens and the electoral law 275-97.
Rosario issued this warning during a speech on Friday February 17 in New York City while swearing in members of the coordinating electoral offices overseas representing Washington, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Boston and New York. His comments coincide with the allegations being leveled against the First Lady, Margarita Cedeno, who is also the Vice Presidential candidate.
Listin Diario reports that he told the party delegates at the event and aspiring overseas deputies that the good name, the reputation and the honor of the candidates and the parties they represented, as well as those who were up for election at presidential and vice presidential level should be respected according to the Constitution and its laws.
Article 94 of the electoral law states that: "During the electoral period, no group or political party can use phrases, nor make inferences in whatever media against the decency, the decorum, or the dignity of the opposing political party or its candidates."
Rosario warned that the JCE could impose warnings on the parties and their leaders who broke this law and that they would investigate and uncover whoever was behind the publication of anything besmirching the integrity of those candidates up for election.
