Revista Dominicana: 06/01/2004 - 06/30/2004 Los dominicanos residentes en el exterior, debemos de prepararnos para la proyección del voto en el futuro, en primer plano, ya votamos, nuestro voto se contó y sabemos que de ahora en adelante vamos a ser cualificados en el orden político.

Fútbol, Eurosport, Euro 2004 Deporte, liga española, copa del rey, supercopa, barcelona, real madrid, Zidane live La campaña electoral, por tanto, ha estado marcada por lo que se podría denominar como 'la guerra del voto por correo', que ha relegado a un segundo plano la exposición de los proyectos que para el Real Madrid tienen los tres candidatos. La Junta de Gestión Electoral, "para evitar cualquier posibilidad de impugnación", decidió que se instalasen dos urnas en cada mesa, "de tal forma que en el escrutinio que se haga al final de la jornada se puedan determinar con precisión los resultados de voto presencial y del voto por correo separadamente". El viernes, Sanz propuso un acuerdo para atrasar las elecciones "lo que haga falta" para que los socios "vayan a votar libremente", mientras que Baldasano solicitó públicamente que se anulase el voto por correo. www.eurosport.es /home/pages/V4/L6/S22/sport_Lng6_Spo22_Sto611912.shtml   (369 words)

Avaliação do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Se o segundo turno da eleição fosse hoje, o adversário mais difícil para Lula, a exemplo do que ocorre nas simulações de primeiro turno, seria José Serra: nesse cenário, 46% votariam em Lula, ante 40% que optariam pelo peessedebista. A intenção de voto espontânea em Lula, ou seja, aquela na qual o entrevistado diz em quem pretende votar em 2006, sem que veja os cartões circulares com os nomes dos possíveis candidatos, passou de 23%, na pesquisa anterior, para 20%, hoje. Em relação à pesquisa anterior, a intenção de voto no petista passou de 36% para 33%, enquanto a preferência pelo peessedebista oscilou, dentro da margem de erro, de 26% para 27%. www1.folha.uol.com.br /folha/datafolha/po/aval_pres_16062005.shtml   (1257 words)

BASES POPULARES DEL ANTIAPRISMO El triunfo de Toledo, fue el triunfo de una coalición contra el APRA, tanto de partidos como de grupos sociales, de la misma manera que parte importante del voto a favor de Alan García fue el voto antitoledo, no el voto a favor del APRA. El APRA siempre ofreció una forma de movilidad vertical que irritó y generó intolerancia a quienes habían ascendido por procedimientos estamentales. En lo sucesivo cuando escriba sobre Refundación, por favor entenderla como la reorganización de las relaciones del APRA con la sociedad civil, los ciudadanos y los actores colectivos. balcon1.tripod.com /eduardo12agosto.htm   (1257 words)
