YASunidos would not have met the deadline for appealing at the TCE

So it was stated on last Tuesday by the president of the National Electoral Council (CNE for its Spanish acronym), Domingo Paredes, who said the environmental group YASunidos did not submitt an appeal to the Electoral Crime Tribunal (TCE for its Spanish acronym) within the three day period.

During the announcement, Paredes presented a document signed by Secretary of the TCE which states that until June 17 (yesterday), until 09:30 they had not filed any action or appeal against the decision of the CNE, which established that YASunidos did not get the required number of signatures to call a referendum.

This, according to Paredes, “have closed all legal avenues, and we will proceed to process this decision to the Constitutional Court for the proper and relevant legal constitutional purposes.”

Meanwhile, spokesperson of YASunidos, Esperanza Martinez, said the group’s representatives will attend this Wednesday at 10:00 to the TCE to present their appeal, because, she said, the legal representatives of YASunidos believe the time for appeal is in effect.
