The National Electoral Institute (INE) does not have it easy
because you will have to decide and justify
If it abides by the court order to suspend the preparatory process for the election of judges, magistrates and ministers or aligns itself with the opinion of the electoral magistrates who gave the green light to continue with it, they warned yesterday in the countermeasure
of federal judges.
“The INE has to define its position on which path it will follow and that situation corresponds to each of the counselors, since the ruling must be collegial.
We are not facing an irrelevant decision, but rather an issue that affects one of the three powers of the Republic
said Judge Juan José Olvera López.
He emphasized that the determination made last Wednesday by the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF) does not mean that they will rule on the suspensions of protection because it is not within their jurisdiction.
The project of Judge Felipe de la Mata, approved by the plenary session of the TEPJF by a majority of three votes to two, recognizes the above, as it indicates that It is unconstitutionally unfeasible for the INE to suspend electoral processes and especially those of judges. Legal certainty is needed. We are not revoking amparo rulings, it is not our subject
.
Amparo judges do not resolve electoral issues
However, it also clarifies that Amparo judges do not resolve electoral issues and should not get involved. The system indicates that we are the definitive body in electoral matters. We may not like judicial reform, we may be against the system, but we have to abide by what the Constitution says
