Fear settles in or a new trick brewing?

May 30, 2004

The president of the Electoral Council has instructed its functionaries to carefully check the ID documents of the ratifiers. Will they try to invalidate the process through this ugly trick? Or as some people are claiming the numbers are close and they need this sort of treachery? My numbers say that yesterday there were about 525 thousand ratified and about 64 thousand retired. It should be easy to get to 700 thousand signatures and less than a 100 thousand retired. That still gives a decent margin, so the tricks must be beginning.
