casting vote
In arguing his position against the project, the presiding magistrate Reyes Rodríguez considered that there was no lack of exhaustiveness because the local authority did consider all the evidence provided.
In addition, it considered that Morena presented as evidence a future event of uncertain realization.
“Although the complainant provided evidence to demonstrate that the future event was being called, this does not empower the responsible authority to establish a procedure on future and uncertain facts and events,” said the head of the TEPJF.
The general secretary of agreements, Rodrigo Sánchez Gracia, reported that there was a tie in the vote. In addition to Reyes Rodríguez, the magistrates Felipe de la Mata Pizaña and Felipe Alfredo Fuentes Barrera voted against the project.
While they supported the project of Vargas Valdez, his peers Indalfer Infante Gonzales and Mónica Aralí Soto Fregoso, given that the magistrate Janine Otálora was not present, so Reyes Rodríguez’s casting vote was chosen.
“Derived from the vote, in the matter of REP-88 of 2022, I will make use of the power provided for in article 167, penultimate paragraph of the Organic Law of the Judicial Power of the Federation regarding the possibility of casting a quality vote, in case of a tie”, announced the presiding magistrate.
