The legislators of the Morena National Regeneration Movement (Morena) in the Chamber of Deputies endorsed the proposal of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) that the electoral directors of the National Electoral Institute (INE) and judges of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judiciary of the Federation ( TEPJF) are elected by the direct vote of citizens.
The coordinator of the Morenista bench in the lower house, Ignacio Mier Velazco, assured that the electoral bodies are “hopeless”, so the discussion of an electoral reform is a fact in the Legislative Palace of San Lázaro.
“It is a contradiction that the body that costs us 20 billion pesos has such an egomaniacal attitude of not guaranteeing participation and promoting it. From my point of view, they are hopeless,” he said.
In an interview with the media, the legislator indicated that in the face of the reform of the bodies, the mechanism must be defined to ensure that candidates have experience in electoral matters.
Likewise, Mier Velazco explained that political parties and institutions of higher education will be able to propose their candidate, as long as they meet the established requirements.
Finally, the Morenista said that they will wait in the Chamber of Deputies for the proposal of the federal president, with the aim of joining it to the initiative that enlists the cherry party.
It should be recalled that on the morning of March 29, President López Obrador reported that after the revocation of mandate consultation on April 10, he will send to Congress his an initiative to reform the electoral bodies, with which the people could elect councillors and magistrates.
“We will make a proposal going on April 10, we are going to send an initiative to reform the Constitution to guarantee democracy in Mexico, that there are no longer judges with biased attitudes in the electoral field, that is that there are no counselors, that there are no magistrates, that they do not have a democratic vocation and also that they are guaranteed free and secret voting that there are no electoral frauds”, he stressed.
And it is that after the Electoral Tribunal declared inapplicable the decree approved by the Congress of the Union, with which officials can disseminate the consultation of Revocation in closed time, the federal president assured that the reform “is necessary”.
During his morning press conference, the president explained that the reform bill analyzes that it is the legislative, executive and judicial branches that propose 20 people to be electoral councillors, and the same number for judges of the Tribunal.
In addition, he explained that the initiative will propose that it be the people who choose the electoral councillors and magistrates by voting: “The people will choose directly, it's over, I hope that the cupular agreements against the people, the councillors and magistrates will end.”
