The national leader of Morena, Mario Delgado, described as historic the resolution of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) on the consultation of revocation of mandate, because, in addition to make clear
that no one is above the Constitution, there is no longer any excuse
to carry out the process and guarantee citizen participation.
Once the TEPJF established that the National Electoral Institute (INE) does not have the powers to stop the consultation, which will allow citizens to decide if President Andrés Manuel López Obrador continues his administration, the Morena leader stressed that after the budget adjustments what the electoral body should do There is no longer any pretext, they must act with austerity and take into account the priorities of this government, since the welfare programs cannot be affected.
.
He also invited the electoral advisers to think about who needs it most and if you lack resources, accept once and for all to reduce your salaries and privileges because the consultation is going
.
Delgado agreed with President López Obrador that if even making budget adjustments to the INE, the resources are lacking to carry out the consultation, a viable option could be to use part of the Institute’s resources to Return the Stolen to the People.
He also stated that the revocation of the mandate will set a real precedent for participatory democracy in the country, which It will give all the power to the people with tools so that they can not only put in presidents, but also remove them, that they can remove the bad rulers in the middle of the mandate so that there will never be corrupt and murderers in power.
.
For its part, the PRD group in the Chamber of Deputies considered that the upper chamber of the TEPJF agreed with it by linking the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit to grant more resources to the INE to carry out the revocation process of mandate.
Luis Espinosa Cházaro, coordinator of the PRD deputies, stressed on social networks that his group had warned that the revocation was unfeasible as long as the necessary resources were not assigned to the INE. By binding the SHCP in its resolution, the TEPJF agreed with us, he insisted.
