TESTIMONY.
Helive Angulo, who was allegedly the administrator of the assets of drug trafficker Leandro Norero, assured that he financed the No campaign through former Correista legislator Ronny Aleaga. Norero feared extradition, which was one of the questions.
This requires immediate action to investigate the incident, verify dates and take legal measures on the part of the National Electoral Council (CNE), said two former authorities of the organization.
“It is the obligation of the National Electoral Council to initiate an administrative process in which all the information falls and present the corresponding complaint before the Contentious Electoral Court,” says Carlos Aguinaga, former president of the Electoral Council.
Political organizations submit their campaign financing reports 90 days after the process has concluded. In this case, Ronny Aleaga participated in the activities for the No in the 2023 consultation with his Citizen Revolution movement. According to Aguinaga, given this information, these accounts can be reviewed.
For Medardo Oleas, also a former member of the electoral body, this testimony in the Metastasis case confirms the control weaknesses of the CNE.
Both Oleas and Aguinaga agree that the CNE can control spending during the electoral campaign, but they have not given it importance.
In the eight questions of the February 2023 referendum, No won, including the one that proposed the extradition of criminals related to international organized crime, such as the case of drug trafficking, a question that is taken up in the consultation of April 21, 2024./ The time
