Students and Unionists do not accept referendum results

Yesterday, the federations of the students of the University of Costa Rica (FEUCR), the National University (FEUNA), the students in secondary education (FES), as well as the the union Central General de Trabajadores (CGT) have anounced their rejection of the referendum results due to fraud. The most serious incidences according to the FEUCR were the direct intromission of the US government regarding the CBI benefits and its coverage during the media black out, and the coverage of CNN Espanol of the CBI debate, including interviews with Pro-CAFTA representatives for large periods of time on saturday before the referendum. The groups have called for a general assembly at the UCR today to decide the next step.
