Faced with the refusal of the Evaluation Committee of the Judiciary to reactivate its works immediately, the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF) reported that it will wait to have a formal response, and endorsed the criterion taken on the eve.
In an information card, the court said that he will not make public statements until we see the deadlines and analyze the legal fund of this matter compliments
.
The TEPJF notified to the evaluation committee its sentence yesterday at nine in the morning, so that it resumes its work within a period not exceeding 24 hours, that is, this Friday the breach would be confirmed.
The Committee publicly announced that the resolution of the electoral magistrates will not comply, considering that there is a contradiction of criteria and, therefore, it will file a controversy before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation to make that instance that clarifies the powers both of the TEPJF as the district judge that ordered the three evaluation committees – one for each power of the Union – to suspend works.
After approving by the majority of three votes against two the project related precisely to the Order to the Evaluation Committee, Judge Felipe Fuentes referred to the legal framework of the possible actions to be carried out in contempt.
In the project, today, a warning is established in the case of breach, but we fully trust the evaluation committee, with institutional responsibility, comply with the sentences

The constraint and disciplinary corrections marked by article 32 of the General Law of the Challenge Media System in Electoral Matters, to enforce the TEPJF sentences, are the following: warning, admonition, a fine of 50 to 5 thousand units of measure and update, and double in case of recidivism, aid of the public force, and arrest for up to 36 hours.
In an anterior episode, during the presidency of Reyes Rodríguez Mondragón, the legislature did not comply with an order of the TEPJF Superior Chamber so that the Directive gave a place in the Permanent Commission to a deputy of the Citizen Movement; However, the permanent period concluded and the orange party legislator never entered, by decision of the majority block.
The incident occurred in May 2022 and even Judge Rodríguez asked before a audience of electoral law specialists: How far should the courts arrive to repair the system failure and assert their decisions in the face of contempt of a order in the Superior Chamber?, Which is the maximum instance in electoral matters
