Presidential couples and high-risk candidates will have police protection. This was determined by an agreement signed by the State Electoral Council (HNS) and the Ministry of the Interior.
The document also seeks to guarantee organization, security, maintenance of public order, control and transportation during the August 20 election.
Currently, the CNE has accredited 15 party delegates for the August 20 election review process.
Attacks on candidates during the past election process are the introduction and argument for the agreement signed yesterday. Also the rates of violence in the country.
Protection is an important step, but it should be accompanied by an intelligence plan to prevent attacks that endanger not only the candidates, but also their followers.
‘Can’ or ‘must’: an explanation of how must develop and who is participating in the pre-election campaign for early elections on August 20
As part of security work, there are actions that can lead to violent actions. Before the February 5 election, Fernando Villavicencio, who is now a presidential candidate, publicly denounced that some candidates for various positions were involved in drug trafficking or receiving funds for it.
The CNE then explained that it is not authorized to investigate these complaints and that its authority goes all the way to controlling the origin and destination of the funds invested in the pre-election campaign.
Presidential debate: other issues
The investigation in this sense must be initiated by the State Attorney’s Office after a report by the HNZ or a citizen.
It is a common task to ensure that the electoral process is not contaminated by criminal activities. As the agreement was signed with the MUP, access must also be sought with the Prosecutor’s Office to be alert for any suspicion. Of course, it is best for political parties and movements to propose reliable and honest candidates. Prevention in every aspect will help the elections to be violence-free. The definition of the candidate’s risk profile is pending or confirmation should be requested. (OR)
