The National Electoral Institute (INE) received the list of candidates from the judicial elections, which includes the names of 3 thousand 801 people; To this database will be added the judges with a direct pass, that is, those who are in functions and decided to participate in the contest of the Sunday of June.
The president of the Senate, Gerardo Fernández Noroña, went to the INE to deliver the folders and in that context warned that nothing or no one will stop this historical election; He criticized the members of the Judiciary to oppose the constitutional reform of this area have been, he said, the main antagonists and have acted with teasing and teasing impudence
. They warned that the amparos are not worth in electoral matters.
“I do not know any failure contrary to the constitutional framework, I do not know the faccious attitude of ministers who want to state that they are the Constitution … No, it is not contempt, what they are deciding is illegal. The Court is inconsequential … the Court has to resolve based on the constitutional framework. Why do it cost them so much work to recognize that an amparo does not proceed against an electoral process? ”He told the press.
Before, in the protocol act, he pointed out that there are 1,416 candidates postulated by the selection process by the Legislative Power; 1,430 of the Executive Power and 955 of the Judiciary.
Those of Direct Pasa – Chanted by Fernández Noroña – are 195 in functions, 195 magistrates, 11 interim of the Judicial Council and 21 Judges.
The president, Guadalupe Taddei, accompanied by five of her colleagues and the executive secretary of the body, mentioned that the INE envoys are already in the field in search of 13.9 million citizens, among whom the Casilla officials will come out.
He then called for citizen participation at the polls and the contestants to adhere to the constitutional framework and strictly observe the electoral rules.
Previously, Senator Fernández Noroña said that in addition to the people postulated by the three committees, in 74 percent of the positions in contest (881 positions) the judges decided to compete. That percentage would give 651 candidacies; However, when he detailed the positions related to it, the account gives a smaller number, 422.
The definitive number of candidacies will be known in the next five days, legal term of the INE to review the lists, and overcome the areas in which each candidate for district judges and circuit magistrates will campaigns; Then you will send this database to graphic workshops in Mexico for the printing of more than 600 million tickets, whose design has already been approved by the Institute.
In the formal delivery, Fernández Noroña was emphatic in that despite the challenges and adversities, mainly placed by members of the Judicial Power, the will of the people will be made to choose the judges by vote.
In a subsequent interview, he not only warned that Nothing will stop the judicial election
but that he said that the criteria of a part of the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice are inconsequential and, in that sense, he does not know them.
The court can decide that the sun does not come out tomorrow, of course it can decide, but the sun will disagree. And the Court can say that the law of gravity does not exist and I will disagree it when walking to the floor.
