Through the Facebook group “Operation Seventh Ballot [1]” [es], citizens are inviting voters to deposit a paper in the ballot box with the words “NO TO THE REFORM OF LAW 30″ in reference to the education reform launched by the national government [2]. This initiative, which will be carried out during the October 30 regional elections, recalls a similar initiative from March 11, 1990 when citizens demanded the creation of an Assembly to reform the constitution [3] [es].
