Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus López Rodríguez described as "political primitivism" the furor with which political militants carry out political campaigns. He criticized the millionaire sums invested into the campaigns, suggesting that this money be used in more important things. "I have never agreed with the government financing the political campaigns in our countries," he said on the "Fé y Acontecer" program on Televida, Channel 41, the Catholic Church channel. He said that countries that have achieved political maturity do not spending on what he described as "nonsense."
