Minister Wado De Pedro asked for JxC's spport rescheduling the elections amid the coronavirus crisis.
The Juntos por el Cambio (Together for Change - JxC) opposition coalition Thursday agreed to reschedule this year's primary and general mid-term election to allow for a better anti-covid-19 campaign, it was announced.
JxC expressed its interest in contributing to the better management of the pandemic and, at the same time, respecting the electoral norms in force with the guarantee of the primary elections that are now enshrined into law.
The opposition bloc thus gave its support to the Frente de Todos (Everybody's Front - FdT) ruling party's proposal to postpone the primary elections (PASO) until September and the general elections until November when half of the seats in the House of Deputies and a third of the Senate are to be renewed.
