“The assistance of the INE is something normal, that is how it should be seen in a democratic system. It would be bad if the electoral authority did not dialogue respectfully and permanently with all the political forces. This has been happening since the IFE obtained its autonomy in 1996,” he said.
“Rather, what is strange is that there are those who are surprised that the president of the INE speaks with all the political parties,” he insisted.
The statements occurred after, in the morning, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador questioned the impartiality of Córdova for having attended the meeting of PAN legislators.
This Friday, the head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, joined the criticism of the president.
The local president considered Córdova’s assistance with the National Action deputies as incorrect.
“I don’t think it’s correct. In other words, the electoral referee has to remain as an electoral referee, he does not have to attend an opening plenary session of a political party, ”she replied when questioned on the subject, at a press conference this Friday.
