With this, on September 2, the almost unanimous vote of the senators was achieved (98 in favor, 2 abstentions), the conflict between the 4T and the opposition was unlocked and prevented, as the leader of Morena in the Senate, Ricardo Monreal, that the INE “legislate”.
“Let’s not allow the INE or any autonomous body to replace us; Let’s not allow autonomous bodies to usurp functions that, however powerful they may be, have no reason to violate the principle of legality, that’s not ”he argued in the tribune.
Other provisions were also approved that Morena now rejects, arguing that the INE seeks to censor freedom of expression, or “persecutes” Morenoist leaders dedicated to promoting the exercise.
Among them, those established in article 33 of the Federal Law for Revocation of Mandate that order the INE to carry out a monitoring of the media, press and electronic media, in order to guarantee equity in the information spaces, public opinion and/or or broadcast.
Right there it is ordered that from the Call and until the conclusion of the voting day, “the dissemination in the media of all government propaganda of any order of government must be suspended.”
Later in the same section it was established “the use of public resources for the collection of signatures, as well as for promotion and propaganda purposes related to the processes of revocation of mandate, is prohibited.”
On September 7, the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies approved that minute without any changes.
Even so, in the discussion Morena presented seven reservations and PT 13, but practically none were relevant, they asked to change words and in reality they only served to occupy the podium.
In none of them did Morena or its allied parties object to the system of restrictions on the activism of public servants in collecting signatures or in disseminating the consultation, which they now seek to modify via the “decree”.
