María Jamardo stated that any Spanish citizen, group, civil society entity, or political party could approach the Ombudsman to ask for the defense of their interests as voters and their right to participate in the elections on November 29 with a reliable electoral roll, comprised only of those who should be listed on it. She asserted that if Ángel Gabilondo acted at the request of 180,000 presumably affected individuals, he would be even more justified in doing so on behalf of the 36,000,000 who, according to her, could be affected if measures were not taken. She also questioned whether the Ombudsman was defending Sánchez and the party for which he ran as head of the list in the 2021 Madrid regional elections. #DefensorDelPueblo #DerechosCiviles #ParticipaciónCiudadana (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the delegates to the congress of the Pacto movement should be elected through open voting by the citizenry at all polling places in the country. He believed that a proposal to limit participation to the founding trends of the Pacto excluded the people and was, in his opinion, a slap in the face to democracy. Petro affirmed that the citizenry owned the movement and that it should reflect the 13 million people who, as he wrote, supported it, in all their diversity. He added that every voter of the Pacto should have the right to choose the delegates for the founding congress. He also suggested that the goal was to organize the largest political force in the country to restore democracy in Colombia and apply the 1991 Constitution, without fear of activating popular constituent power. He concluded with criticisms of what he called tyranny and bad government, and defended a country that offered opportunities and progress for all. https://t.co/tI7NstnYGw #DemocraciaColombia #Pacto #ParticipaciónCiudadana (translated)

Cheer me up by proposing that the party with the most votes govern under the principle of "one person, one vote," with the same value for all seats, and that parties representing regional interests or other specific interests should not be allowed to run in general elections or have representation in Congress. He also proposed requiring parliamentarians to have at least 15 years of work experience outside of politics and a known job, excluding those with criminal records, and limiting political activity to two terms of four years each. He added that politicians should be automatically audited when they take office and when they leave, and maintain transparent finances. The author argued that any citizen would vote for those measures, but that no politician would. #Democracia #ParticipaciónCiudadana #ReformaPolítica (translated)

Yuste stated that abstention, blank votes, and null votes benefited the major parties in one way or another, especially when they came from people who intended to vote for a small party. He claimed that voters of the PP, PSOE, and Vox would be the least likely to abstain and recommended voting for another party to help it gain representation. He also advised people to be informed and pointed out that concentrating votes by constituency could be more favorable. #VotoResponsable #Elecciones2023 #ParticipaciónCiudadana (translated)

María Jamardo wrote that the call for elections on November 29 was, in her opinion, a response to the inability to defend a minimal management and to the willingness to start a political confrontation with the opposition. She added that a period inspired by the popular front and street mobilization was being initiated, and called for people to vote. #Elecciones2023 #Democracia #ParticipaciónCiudadana (translated)
