Gracias por front page!

Gracias por front page! ;)
Nico, las elecciones se desarrollaron en normalidad de acuerdo con los criterios que maneja Colombia, tanto en las regiones como en la capital. Nosotros logramos cubrir un 20% del los puestos de votación de Bogotá- No hubo irregularidades de orden público, pero la situación cambio en otras zonas de la capital y cambia significativamente en las regiones del caribe, pacífico, zonas de frontera con Venezuela, Ecuadro, Brasil, etc.

La Misión de Observación Electoral (MOE) divulgó un estudio en el que revela que al menos en 407 municipios del país hay riesgos de anomalías electorales (fraude, presión de actores armados ilegales y narcotráfico)

great story and images. Thank
