INE hid survey that favors AMLO’s electoral reform, accuses Morena

The survey was released during the afternoon of Tuesday, November 1 in the media and social networks.

“In said survey carried out by the INE itself, it would be confirmed that 78% of Mexicans approve that the members of the Council and Magistrates be elected by popular vote. 87% would be in favor of reducing councils and senatorial offices”, assured Morena.

“The Institute did not make the information public through a press release or internal communication for all the members of the General Council. He has even kept the veracity of the data from the alleged survey in a suspicious confidence by not responding to our letter, ”he added.

The political party founded by López Obrador reported that an appeal will be promoted for the alleged omission of the Institute at the time of revealing the results.

Jaime Rivera Velázquez, advisor to the National Electoral Institute (INE), confirmed today that the survey is true.

“The survey was commissioned by the INE through the Coordination of Social Communication, this is done periodically. It is false that the information has been hidden, in fact this information was delivered in October to the INE advisers and two or three days this information was disseminated, it was made public through the Transparency portal”, he assured during an interview with Ciro Gómez Law in Radius Formula.

In October, less than two years before the 2024 election day, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presented his electoral reform initiative with which he will seek to establish a clean democracy and that there will never be fraud again, he assured.

To do this, his proposal contemplates that the National Electoral Institute become the National Institute of Elections and Consultations, decrease from 11 to seven electoral advisers, eliminate financing to political parties for ordinary activities, as well as eliminate the so-called plurinominal legislators.

What will be the second reform initiative of the 65th legislature contemplates 18 modifications to the Constitution and seven transitional ones, so for its approval Morena will need to dialogue and convince opposition legislators.

Every six-year term, the president in turn usually promotes an electoral reform to perfect the political system. With Andrés Manuel López Obrador is no exception. The Mexican president has assured that he seeks that with his initiative the frauds from which he has even suffered, he has said, end.
