criticism
Before the Hondurans received the first data, the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church asked NPP to exercise their function ethically and not to “delay” the final control.
“It’s not about calling on the different sectors to calm down, it’s about calling for ethics,” said Juan Ángel López, a spokesman for the Episcopal Conference. NPP they demanded calm from the citizens.
Last Tuesday, Ana Paola Hall, president of NPP, and Rixi Moncada, councilor, demanded calm and defended themselves with the argument that the Electoral Law gives them 30 days to give the official results.
“The excuses are that they have 30 days to submit the final report, but nowhere in the world will they delay the issue so much,” López criticized.
Pastor Alberto Solórzano, representative of the Evangelical Brotherhood of Honduras (CEH), said that “it is a pity that NPP they did not adjust all the details for the development internal elections and added that the delay in the official delivery of results.
For Solórzano, NPP by not giving results at night elections, provoked confrontations within political parties and has created uncertainty in a society that believes that the authorities of this body are falsifying fraud.
“Let’s hope that the right decisions will be made to come out of this moment with lessons learned that will allow us to improve in the face of general elections”Said Solórzano.
Rector National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), Francisco Herrera, warned that the lack of information causes distancing and cracking within political parties.
