Magistrate Wellman said they would now send the agreement to print ballots in San Salvador, the only ones that were pending.
“I think the Constitutional Chamber has acted diligently, (Walter Araujo’s candidacy) we now have a collegiate and we will send the agreement for the ballots to be already printed, this resolution solves the problem of printing ballots in San Salvador,” said the magistrate of the Tribunal Supreme Electoral (EST), William Wellman.
Judge Wellman considered that the joint return of the Chamber was due to the concern expressed on Tuesday by Judge President Dora Esmeralda Escobar and Judge Noel Orellana regarding the delay in printing, if the Chamber does not resolve promptly.
He also said that he found it interesting that the Chamber made a decision at a time that deserved it, “the fact that they are a normal faculty of the Chamber as the highest interpreter of the constitution, has obligations to resolve habeas corpus, unconstitutionality and amparo , I do not see anything unusual in this type of resolution, which is interesting that the House made a decision at a time that deserves it, because we have a priority that is February 28 and otherwise this was not defined because we fell in the issue that the printing of ballot papers was delayed ”.

The magistrate stressed the importance of the New Ideas party replacing the candidate as soon as possible. “An agreement must be reached in which, by order of the Chamber, we will inform the New Ideas party to make the replacement as soon as possible. as much as possible. possible “.
In response to statements made yesterday by New Ideas in a statement saying there is a lawsuit against a candidate from the ARENA party, Wellman replied: “There is no lawsuit against any other candidate, it was just that.”
