Former head of ONPE, Fernando Tuesta Soldevillain dialogue with RPP News, decided on the use of public funds earmarked for the financing of political parties. Recent investigative journalism seems to show that these organizations are misusing government funding, he said.

“(The law) states: at least 50% (designated) for education, research, teaching and dissemination conformity. And that’s where these consultations or professional payments come in, in which you say: conformity Do you need to spend in this case a high percentage, which in total is half of what they receive per year for this type of training? Tuesta asked.

In this regard, he mentioned that these state funds would not fulfill their task of “strengthening” Matches.

“We need to ask the militants: whom to strengthen, who are the beneficiaries? Organization and its members. I am sure that the members of all Matches they don’t know how to use resources. Moreover, I am sure that the vast majority did not even know that conformity received significant sums of money,” he said.

For Tuesta, the “beneficiaries” of public funds would actually be party leaders and their relatives. However, he emphasized that it was not illegal to allocate these resources to pay for consulting services and that the law does not prohibit payments to leaders, “but that was not the intent.”

“Is this illegal? No, but it completely reverses the rule. How is it possible that professional services allowances of S/180,000, S/120,000, S/226,000 are paid? In public administration, where the government is, it will require, as at least an open public competition or a set of rules and requirements,” he said.

“Gonzalo Alegria cannot be dropped from the race”

Secondly, Fernando Toast He said Together for Peru’s Lima mayoral candidate, Gonzalo Alegria, could not be withdrawn from the campaign despite the allegations against him, as that stage of the process had already ended.

“Like any process, it has a timetable, and the last date for a recall and complaint was August 3rd. From now on, neither of these two figures can develop. conformity cannot resign, and no candidate can resign. In any case, it can be done, but it does not become effective,” he explained.

Given this impossibility, he said that “Politicians committed to Together for Peru should conduct public actions demarcating the candidate. Happinessalthough he emphasized that the bench of that conformityso far there has been no joint statement on this issue and that conformity just search for “wash your hands”.

” conformity It just says you signed up. This is hand washing. The only thing the party says is that it has registered to run in the internal elections. This is not enough. conformity can send him, for example, or the president conformity could be pronounced. This is not so,” he stressed.

However, he considered that the “most important sanction” against contested candidates would be applied on election day.

Changes in electoral rules

Fried Soldeville He also spoke about possible changes in the electoral rules in connection with issues arising in relation to candidates in elections and officials elected by vote.

“Our regulatory framework is one of the most demanding in the region, it even happens that on the basis of this regulation things that are not in other countries are excluded. The whole issue of summary in other countries does not exist. Besides, they are so condemned. Matches with their actions, that people would like everyone to leave, and since the representatives we voted for are leaving, we want them to leave,” he stressed.

Similarly, he emphasized that the “lack of rules” “immediately” changes the entire political system, even to a lesser extent when it comes to “the quality of our political parties”.

“The Peruvian norm, in terms of elections, is the one that has the most demands, demands, and also candidates. Much is required of them. Over the past two decades, all possible measures have been strengthened by the belief that in this way, “turbid water will become crystal clear. This did not happen. So it’s just a problem of laws? I don’t think so,” he asked.

Finally, he mentioned that it was “very important” that “parliamentary elections coincide with the second round of elections” and that “primary elections be allowed when we Peruvians can determine who candidates”.
