Regarding the alleged irregularities in the process, Felipe de la Mata pointed out that they were serious, but isolated, and insufficient events to vote for annulment.
Mondragón proposed that the facts be studied and the presence of public officials, including Claudia Sheinbaum and Adán Augusto López, at Américo’s campaign events be included in the analysis.
“It is not noted that irregularities were repeated conduct in the campaign, they were insufficient and isolated events that cannot prove or go against the result,” he said.
Americo celebrates
In a video message shared on his social networks, Villarreal celebrated the decision of the magistrates and invited the people of Tamaulipas to accompany him in his protest on October 1.
“Today ends the uncertainty to which we were subjected by outside interests, linked to an unacceptable way of doing politics,” he said.
“The lies and the dirty war were defeated by the lucidity of a court that dismantled one by one all the false arguments that were presented to invalidate the election. All arguments were thrown out,” he expressed.
“They invented that the chain of custody of the electoral packages was violated; they wanted to stain the social programs and the work carried out by the servants of the nation; they pointed out that there was a supposed intervention of organized crime; They lied when they said that resources of illicit origin were used. The truth is that Tamaulipas chose me as its governor, “he explained.
the challenge
National Action presented the challenge before the Superior Chamber of the TEPJF against the definitive calculation of the election held on June 5, which granted the triumph of the Morena standard-bearer, Américo Villarreal Anaya.
In the complaint there was a set of alleged evidence and indications that would establish a certain link between the Morena party, Américo Villarreal’s candidacy and the possibility that organized crime had provided material and monetary resources for the campaign.
Specifically, the candidate was accused of having received money from Sergio Carmona, known as the “King of Huachicol”, who brought gasoline pipes from the United States and entered Mexico through its borders, without paying taxes.
AMLO supports Américo
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said today that the Columna Armada organization, a group that was born as a self-defense group and is now linked to organized crime, voted for the elected governor of Tamaulipas, Américo Villarreal, although he also did so at the time by the PAN member Francisco Cabeza de Vaca.
“There is an organization that is accused of being linked to illicit activities, that organization, I don’t remember now what it’s called, supported Dr. Américo’s campaign, I have won there and the PAN won and the PRI won,” said the president of the Republic.
“Those who vote for Américo Villarreal now are the same ones who voted for him (Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca), I have heard the story and that is why I can tell it and if they voted for him, what? That they did not have the right to vote? Were they disabled? How it is now discovered that they have criminal relations or are engaged in criminal activities, and how it is verified and how that is going to be used to say there are links to drug trafficking, that is what is happening,” said the president.
President López Obrador shared that he even had some encounter with the members of this organization, which emerged in 2010 as a self-defense group.
He said that in three of the municipalities in which he had events there were no attendees and this was because the Armed Column had allegedly asked the inhabitants to only attend the event that would take place in Hidalgo.
“I arrive in Hidalgo and the square bursting at the seams, four or 5,000 people, then a man asks to speak, welcomes them, and then his speech is: ‘here we don’t allow the gangs and we are organized and we are an Armed Column’, We have put order here,” he said.
