A few hours after the revocation of mandate consultation with President López Obrador begins, members of the National Electoral Institute (INE) have come out to defend their autonomy in the face of various attacks and thus recall their role in the democratic movements in Mexico.
One of the most active on his social networks has been Electoral Director Ciro Murayama, who was recently involved in the controversy over a publication that violated the guidelines established and shared by the INE.
Murayama was responsible for sharing and remembering what electoral crimes could arise during the revocation consultation and warned citizens to stay alert for any anomalies.
“Eye, a lot of eye. An electoral crime is. -Forcing subordinates to vote or abstain. -Use public resources for electoral purposes. -Condition government programs. -Carry on election day. Stay tuned,” he said on his Twitter account.
In the face of this publication, users on social networks rushed against him and criticized him for not acting according to his position or according to his institution's own guidelines, since they immediately reminded him of a post he had to delete on the question of the Mandate Revocation.
The tweet, which started a longer thread of explanation, indicated the following:
“The same thing happened with the electric law as with the question of the revocation of the mandate: 7 out of 11 @SCJN ministers considered it unconstitutional and 4 did not. But they won all 4! since a qualified majority of 8 votes is needed to declare unconstitutionality”.
A short time later he deleted the series of posts, but this was not enough for some users not to lash out against him, considering that he himself violated the law and even reminded him his controversial visit to Brozo.
These claims were in line with what was previously commented by Epigmenio Ibarra, who made the event a trend through his social networks and even he described as “patiño del clown”, recalling that in his consideration he acts as “squire” of the president of the INE, Lorenzo Córdova.
