Financiamiento estatal para los procesos electorales municipales
description
With a brief summary of the recent legal reforms to the electoral system, both the Municipal and the Electoral Code, the article describes the new public financing system that has been established in order to economically support the political parties that participate in the local government electoral processes and that did not exist prior to the entry in force of the new Electoral Code. Emphasizing the legal characteristics of this new financing system and comparing to the public financing system for political parties that participate in national electoral processes, it points out the jurisprudence of the TSE in the matter, outlining that the first resolution where the electoral tribunal ordered the payment of this State resources, was precisely in favor of a municipal level political party. Finally, from the perspective that the lack of public funding for the municipal electoral processes constituted a barrier for the Costa Rican democratic strengthening and therefore its inclusion represents an advancement in the deepening of citizens’ political rights, the authors conclude with some legal reform recommendations, with the purpose of strengthening this financing system, mainly through its systematization and equalization with the financing of the national electoral process, with the aim tof strengthening the party platforms and thus deepening our democratic culture at the local level. A Table of the political parties which funding has already been ordered by the Tribunal is included, enlisting total and percent amounts granted, as well as those amounts not allocated and which then return to the State

Haciendo énfasis en las características legales de ese nuevo sistema de financiamiento, a partir de las diferencias con el sistema de financiamiento estatal para los partidos políticos que participan en los procesos electorales nacionales, refiere la jurisprudencia del TSE en la materia, destacando que la primera resolución del Tribunal, que ordenó girar recursos del Estado, fue precisamente para un partido político inscrito en el nivel cantonal. Finalmente, partiendo de la tesis de que la ausencia de financiamiento estatal para los procesos electorales municipales constituyó una barrera para la profundización democrática costarricense, por lo que su inclusión representa un avance en el fortalecimiento de los derechos políticos de la ciudadanía, los autores concluyen con algunas recomendaciones de carácter legislativo, con el fin de fortalecer este régimen de financiamiento, principalmente por la vía de su sistematización y equiparación con el financiamiento para procesos electorales nacionales, con la expectativa de robustecer las plataformas partidarias y profundizar, así, nuestra cultura democrática en el nivel local. Se anexa cuadro con la lista de los partidos políticos a los que ya se ordenó girar el financiamiento indicado, que desglosa los montos totales y porcentuales, así como los montos que no pudieron ser liquidados y que regresan al erario2012text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5508164(Revista) ISSN 1659-2069Revista de Derecho Electoral, ISSN 1659-2069, Nº. 13, 2012spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
