Morena will disseminate, within what is permitted by law, the consultation on the revocation of the mandate so that no Mexican is left without knowing the process
maintained its general secretary, Citlalli Hernández.
Although the parties are prevented from promoting the vote in any way, they are not limited to reporting the dates of the process, he added.
In an interview, he criticized the decision of the National Electoral Institute (INE) to place 57,000 polling stations, instead of the 160,000 that were planned, and affirmed that the electoral advisers Lorenzo Córdova and Ciro Murayama have kidnaped
to the comical organ.
Unfortunately we have seen a lack of interest and contempt on the part of the two councilors towards citizen participation processes.
He added that in the popular consultation in which the investigation of former presidents and political actors of the past was put to a vote there was the minimum of effort, even a kind of sabotage by the electoral authority, and now again with this mandate revocation process, it has been the Electoral Institute itself that has litigated (against) alleging lack of budget
.
He criticized that in the framework of the revocation consultation they remove from public discussion and the possibility of campaigning for one or another position the political parties, which are one of the main spaces for citizen organization. So, without a doubt, the contempt for this exercise seems very regrettable to us, it does not seem to us that it prevents us from marking a political position with respect to the 11 million people who signed to request this exercise
.
Installing a third of the voting booths violates the political rights of people who see their ability to participate violated due to distances, said the leader.
For this reason, he considered that an electoral reform is urgent to cause the electoral authority not to make factious use of its activity
