The head of the Central Electoral Board's administrative chamber Roberto Rosario has refused Diario Libre's request to reveal the PLD pre-presidential candidates' expenses and budgets. Rosario suggested that the paper should ask for the information using the freedom of information act. Diario Libre writes that the PRSC and the PRD both revealed details of spending and budgets when they introduced their party's pre-presidential candidates. Rosario did say in defense that the electoral law doesn't limit spending, but only limits the amount of taxpayer money that can be used in campaigns. Rosario said that if anyone has evidence of any misuse of government funds, this should be presented to the JCE, which will act accordingly.
