Deputy candidates: the opposition’s taboo
National Coalition has not defined a mechanism for the election of candidates, while this subject “has not been discussed” in the Citizens’ Alliance
5 mayo, 2021
Few dare to talk about it, many see it as a matter for “later”, almost all agree: “at some point we will talk about it”. The deputy candidates are a taboo subject within the main opposition platforms: the National Coalition and the Citizens’ Alliance.
How will the candidates be chosen? It is a question that, six and a half months before the national elections, no opposition leader can answer with certainty. The Coalition is only certain that it does not want a “hand-picked” election, while the Citizens’ Alliance considers it “an unexplored issue”.
