The last day of the current month concludes the period to notify the National Electoral Institute (INE) of the intention to form a national political party. As of this week’s cutoff, 18 groups had expressed their intention; the most recent under the name Viva México National Movement, headed by Eduardo Verástegui, identified with the extreme right, and who during last year’s electoral process did not achieve support to compete in the presidential election.
The INE will inform in the first days of February which groups meet the requirements and will allow them to start state membership assemblies (in at least 20 entities attended by 3,000 potential members or more) or district (200 minimum, attended by 300 people). or more).
The Political Parties Law establishes that organizations that pursue the objective in question must inform the INE in January of the year following the presidential election.
The Institute must review each of the affiliations that the organization collects through the mobile application and, in exceptional cases, in paper forms.
Another of the groups that apparently would have a better chance of achieving registration is the National Civic Front, where those who supported Xóchitl Gálvez participate.
