An independent candidate could make an impact on Panama's electoral system, showing two things: one, that lacks a real democracy, not the constitutional aspect, but rather the interpretation that the political parties and the authorities have made the Constitution, which allowed them to hijack the democracy and keep restricted. The other is we need to discuss important national issues not being discussed in the country as the issue of poverty. From there, came brewing this idea and came to the conclusion that it is a good way.
TEA Chief Justice, Erasmo Pinilla, SAID ALL THIS IS A "SHOW" MOUNT FOR YOU. WHAT ANSWER?
I think the officials have to be respectful, because when you disrespect someone else wins the chance of being disrespected at a time. However, I want to think like John XXIII, who says he does not attack people but the ideas are discussed.
In that vein, I think the judge made a mistake, because first of which will make the decision is a subordinate him. So if you and my boss said no, there is a bias in the lower official is going to produce this decision. And I think that this is neither democratic nor correct.
I think what is being demonstrated here is that the Electoral Court is extremely committed, and that network that are political parties, which are dominated by economic classes powerful influence judges, jumping up to say "no" to democracy, and defend a party-system.
We're thinking that must be declared even prevented in this case.
Do you think this attitude ARE ENCOURAGING THE ELECTION JUDGES WHO HAVE A PREJUDICE AGAINST leftist ideology?
I'm not sure, because he said it in general. But I also I have the following impression: that people who come from authoritarian and now a post exercise in democracy with an authoritarian mindset, and I think that's what most damage to society. Here That comes into play that if you do not behave as I want you glared. One thing I want to tell the judges, I have no fear, we never mean anything I can get up violence in the country and will use all methods of non-violence for this cross, which we consider fair, to achieve its objective.
NO SOCIAL GROUPS DURING THE DISCUSSION OF THE ELECTORAL REFORMS ASKED THE INDEPENDENT OPEN SPACES OVER YOU SUM "THESE CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS TO YOUR CAUSE?
I have enormous respect for Magaly Castillo of Citizens Alliance for Justice, the communicator Carlos Lee, among other members of these organizations, because people know they are not going to commit to a political candidate, but I think if will agree to commit to the idea of \u200b\u200bexpanding democracy.
John XXIII said that "the right to participate for the common good is a human right, which is based on the dignity" precisely what we advocate. What we want is for office in upcoming elections, the electorate can vote or not us.
hope we can meet with representatives of various civil society organizations to expose our ideas.
DEMOCRATIC DO YOU CONSIDER YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED independent candidates run for the presidency?
if I think I allow democratic participation of independent presidential candidacy.
YOU AGREE TO THE PRESIDENT OF TE, Erasmo Pinilla, IN WHICH THE THEME OF THE SHOW IS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR MOUNT JOVAN? WHY?
As I have not heard the words of my colleague and as the topic we have not discussed in room arrangements, I know what you said about it.
WHO ARE THERE CONSIDER THE ATTITUDE OF FOSTERING A PREJUDICE AGAINST YOU WHO HAVE left ideology. ARE YOU AGREE? WHY?
ultratolerante I'ma man and I can accept many things. But to say that he encourages TE prejudice against someone is undoubtedly a bold and misleading statement.
The TE is characterized by absolute objectivity and impartiality, recognizing the will of the people without prejudices of any kind.
ELECTION JUDGES ARE ACTING authoritatively AGAINST THE SUBJECT OF INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES?
judge of TE only act within the parameters of the law and the Constitution.
Today there is a legal impediment to support an independent presidential candidate and while the law does not permit the judges can not violate it, because with the same reasoning could then ignore the meaning literal of any other law in any case and this would not be at all correct.
Therefore, it is proper to enforce the law.
IF CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS JOIN THE CAUSE OF Jovan REFORMS MAY THINK THE LAWS rejecting INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES?
All electoral law reform is welcome as long as it is for each electoral process more democratic.
However, it would be improper to change the rules of the game to address the interest of any party or candidate to the detriment of the other players. This would be highly dangerous. Thus, electoral reforms are made by a committee established, as tradition in our country, as soon as the election is to enhance the experience just lived.
This process is carried out, as usual, a year after each tournament, when minds are clear and passions and are not heated, so that every one makes the best contributions to the next process election.
JOVAN THINK YOUR POSITION OPEN SPACE NEEDED FOR NATIONAL DEBATE ON THE SUBJECT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I have a high opinion of John Jované, I think it's a good man and well intentioned.
his performance definitely has helped to prompt a serious discussion on the subject and no doubt will be addressed in the forthcoming electoral reforms.
Moreover, I can come on my personal opinion, saying that I see with good eyes that allow the independent presidential candidate without being nominated by a political party, especially when the Constitution not prohibited. It is the law that demands that President candidates are nominated through party, so legal reform would eliminate this requirement.
But as I said, it's dangerous to open the compass to make changes to the law just before an election. It is prudent to wait until the next electoral reforms to be launched in 2010, after this election.
