The Institutionalism and Justice Foundation (Finjus) has criticized a sentence issued by the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE) which annulled the alliance signed by the National Veterans and Civilians Party (PNVC) and the PRD, because it "deeply cuts into the institutionalism of the political system."
In a press release yesterday, Wednesday 14 March, the executive vice-president of FINJUS, Servio Tulio Castanos Guzman, said that the sentence violates the fundamental right of electing and being elected, because it considers that it presents deficiencies in the weighing of evidence besides lacking proper motivation.
With the dissident vote of the president and one member of the TSE, the court annulled the action taken in the XXXV Extraordinary Convention of the PNVC that proclaimed Hipolito Mejia as the party's candidate for the May elections.
Castanos Guzman went so far as to suggest the need for a constitutional review of the TSE's decisions, which he said "arbitrarily violate or restrict the right to vote in the double sense of electing and being elected as well as the prerogative of self-organization that the Constitution recognizes for the parties."
