The 13,205 million pesos preliminarily projected for the election at the ballot box for judicial positions are equivalent to the INE’s base budget for the entire next year, which is 13,255 million pesos.
The General Executive Board called an extraordinary session without transparency, since it did not report it as one of the public activities of this Friday; It met for just eight minutes to declare a quorum of 19 executive directors and office managers, as well as heads of technical units, and immediately voted on the agreement.
In a subsequent statement, the INE reported that the proposal for specific projects is constituted in accordance with the INE Strategic Plan 2016-2026, observing the provisions of the Federal Budget and Fiscal Responsibility Law.
“The INE has the legal responsibility to adequately foresee the specific projects necessary to carry out orderly and efficient elections, in terms of the criteria established by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, in the constitutional controversy 203/20220 (SIC) ”.
The 13,205 million pesos for the judicial election will be added to the preliminary draft budget of the INE that must be approved by the General Council of the INE and which amounts to 27,352 million pesos.
In total, there would therefore be 40,557 million pesos requested by the INE, but 7,354 million pesos are included for the financing of political parties and 4,621 million pesos for an eventual popular consultation.
Just yesterday the president advisor of the INE, Guadalupe Taddei, said that no budget would be valid for the elections of judges, ministers and magistrates, until the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) or the deputies resolved.
