The Fernández administration will modify the 2000 National Budget to include the additional RD$153 million requested by the Junta Central Electoral, the body in charge of organizing the presidential election. But Technical Secretary of the Presidency, Temístocles Montás says that the government has strong reservations about the managerial capacity of the present judges to successfully complete the process. Montás criticized that the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano senators, majority in Congress, did not take the care to select capable people when they elected a new group of judges to the JCE.
