Each separately, 24 people, including Minister Lenia Batres; Ángel Mario García, who proclaimed himself “The Angel of Justice”; Joel Blanno, self -denominated “Magistrate of Change”; Arturo Yahir José Caridad Villegas, who put the nickname of “Lawyer of the People”; Marco Antonio Rojo, who assumed the “judge of AMLO”, sought to be consigned in the ballot.
In the second session of the INE, this to address the judicial election, the directors concluded that in none of the cases there would be room to place their nicknames.
The agreed agreement divided into three groups the various types of nicknames, in some cases determined that it appears in the tickets would constitute an act of “electoral propaganda” forbidden.
In other cases, the name or surname of the applicant would be repeated and in others, given the limited space for names on the ballots in any case, the size of the letters would be reduced so that they had a place, which is not appropriate.
Counselor Arturo Montaño said that in the case of judicial elections the reform of the Judiciary expressly established the elements that should contain the ballots.
“The legislator contemplated that the electoral ballot should contain various characteristics, such as the full name, understood a first name and surname, of the people who would participate in this election”, so adding more elements would be to go against the Constitution , said.
The counselor Dania Ravel explained that with this case “once again, we face a problem that derives from the lack of forecast of the legislators, because it did not think about regulating how the candidate people could enforce their right to include A nickname, in addition to his name. ”
The mechanism to request it or the deadlines in which it should be formulated was not established, it was not regulated before which authority or instance should request such inclusion, Ravel said.
The counselor Jaime Rivera recalled that the General Law of Electoral Institutions and Procedures (Legipe) does provides for that possibility of nicknames-because he resumed the rules of ordinary elections-but Congress did not foresee how to make it assert and the Senate did not send names with nicknames.
Faculties were subtracted from the INE and he silenced: Zavala
The counselor Claudia Zavala said that this request, like other steps of the judicial election, shows that it is necessary that every electoral process “should be in charge, 100% of the electoral authority.”
“We are seeing now, these problems of problems that are being presented for having given intervention to other powers, in an election of a power. That should not happen in the Mexican electoral system, ”he warned.
In the case of the judicial election, he recalled that those in charge of making the selection and registration of candidacies were the legislative, executive and judicial powers, through evaluation committees “and nobody said anything,” he said in reference to the INE.
“The INE, as an expert authority, foresees all in the candidacies registry, the rules put them before, even the nicknames. And here he spent at night, ”he said.
