Ciro Murayama also refutes AMLO’s statements
Separately, also in radio interviews, electoral advisor Ciro Murayama refuted President López Obrador’s statements that the electoral reform does not seek to destroy the INE.
“An INE that does not have a professional and permanent structure and whose directors are close to the president, that is destroying the autonomous body,” he said.
Murayama Rendón defended the autonomy, transparency and impartiality of the Institute, thanks to the work carried out by citizens in capturing and counting votes.
“You have to defend what took so many years to build,” he noted.
He also highlighted that there has been an attempt to accuse the survey of being hidden, when it is on the Institute’s website for transparency.
For the counselor, who will leave office next April, like Córdova Vianello, Adriana Favela and José Roberto Ruiz Saldaña, a new electoral reform that is not the product of consensus would imply a serious setback for democracy, especially when that an electoral register organized by the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) or another agency is sought.
In addition, to put an end to the career civil service that cost the INE years and to elect councilors and magistrates by means of the citizen vote, a situation that would allow officials to be elected “by way”.
