Despite criticism of the value distribution model, Damico said his campaign has worked closely with street communities.

“This is a very unequal situation. […] Unfortunately, my party did not receive a single penny from the special fund which is the constitutional right of all parties, but there are legal mechanisms used to make things difficult for some parties. This does not discourage us, our challenges are greater, we need to mobilize more, and that is what we have done. It is difficult, but we play to win,” said the PCB candidate.
