Former President Leonel Fernández said last night that the country has entered into a crisis of democracy due to the suspension of municipal elections and quickly called for a political dialogue with the main leaders of the different civic organizations of the nation to seek a consensual solution to this problem. .
During an address to the country on television, radio and social networks, Fernández revealed that he has already asked the technicians of the International Foundation of Electoral Systems (IFES) and the electoral mission of the Organization of American States (OAS) to audit the automated voting equipment in order to clarify what happened.
“We demand a thorough and impartial investigation of what happened. A precautionary measure of the electoral kits is essential, which today (Sunday), starting at 1:20 p.m., began to be mobilized from the different polling stations, without the participation of the international election observers, of the delegates politicians and without following the chain of custody protection protocol, ”said the ex-president.
Fernández said that the only party that “strangely” was not affected by any of the irregularities presented was the government party, “whose current leadership leadership, for some time, has been cultivating an unscrupulous conduct of disrespect for the Constitution, of ignorance of democratic institutions and of breaking the popular will ”.
The leader of the People’s Force (FP) said that through the management of the delegates of the opposition parties, the observers of the OAS and IFES learned of the anomaly situation presented in the voting system on the eve of the elections , since at that time, the electoral authorities had kept them out of what was happening.
