Modifying the criteria would imply applying an unprecedented rule and that would violate the principle of legal security that must prevail in elections. It will be proposed to respond to the appeals filed by National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and Citizen Movement (MC), to which was added a citizen lawsuit by Xóchitl Gálvez, former opposition presidential candidate.
De la Mata’s project also proposes declaring unfounded the argument of the Citizen Movement that this force was the only one that meets the requirement provided for in article 54 of the Constitution to nominate 200 candidates for seats by relative majority in order to be able to participate in the plurinominal allocation process.
The project does not support those who demanded that Morena and its allies from the Labor Party (PT) and the Green Party (PVEM) be stripped of that legislative force of 364 votes in total.
The distribution would therefore be confirmed: 75 pluri-member deputies for Morena who will be added to its 161 majority victories, for a total of 236 seats. For the PVEM, 20 plurinominal deputies who will be added to 57 majority deputies, for a group of 77 legislators, and for the PT, 13 proportional representation deputies who will be added to 38 majority deputies, that is, 51 legislators in total.
The total is 364 deputies for the coalition We Continue Making History.
The Electoral Court will meet tomorrow to analyze and resolve the challenges to the decision taken by the INE last Friday, September 23, before the Constitutive Session of the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, September 29, in which the 500 deputies of the 66th Legislature will be sworn in and summoned to the General Congress Session on September 1.
The decision will be the final word on the composition of the Chamber of Deputies, although the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) accepted an appeal for contradiction of criteria filed by the National Action Party (PAN) in the hope of influencing the composition of the Chamber for this 66th Legislature.
