What's the campaign all about

Hoy political analyst Gustavo Olivo criticized the poor content of the campaigns of those aspiring to congressional and municipal posts in the 16 May elections. He said that the opposition has based its campaign on denouncing the government for using government resources to back the PLD candidates. "The candidates seem to be all from the same party, they all have the same train of thoughts. In their speeches we hear the same empty phrases, the same promises, always directed to the poor, the largest voter sector," he said. He also said that the PLD has benefited from the disorder and discouragement in the PRD and the PRSC. He said that the opposition should be focusing on the issues of economic problems, health problems, education or energy in each individual community.
