The National Electoral Institute (INE) pointed out that there are parties that must have even imposed for more than a decade, so a special audit will apply.

In the Revenue and Expenditures of the parties corresponding to the annual year 2023, the Technical Unit of Supervisory proposed sanctions for a general amount of 556.9 million pesos, for movements of both national and local institutes. However, after accepting a good part of the files to review (in offices where payrolls and tax vouchers of suppliers will be analyzed), the fines for irregularities were – in a preliminary way – at 396.9 million.

The party with the highest sanction was the PRI, with 113.9 million; followed by PT, 105 million; Quite back, with 42.6 million, the PAN remained; 35.3 million, Morena; 17.2 million, PVEM; PRD, 29.1, and MC, 14.9 million. The foregoing, compared to a general review of expenses for 14,454 million, both from seven national and premises.

While electoral officials said that the new review of the files could yield even more fines than those fought yesterday by partisan representatives, they demonstrated satisfied for lying the originals.

In the midst of the discussion, the president, Guadalupe Taddei, admitted: We are facing a situation that shows lack of updating of the inspection system of this institute.

At the beginning of the general council session, Carla Humphrey, president of the Supervisory Commission, said that 61 percent of the fines are for unrelated and not proven expenses, as well as others not authorized.

Additionally, the parties received a reproach for continuing with the practice of not sometimes allocating the legal minimum for training, promotion, political development and leadership of women, and for spending without a known destination.

As for taxes, he stated that a party (Morena) asked the Tax Administration service for a record of non -debt, but in the INE records it presents a tax liabilities for 60 million.

The Morenista representative, Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, showed the trade of the SAT in which it is read that this party should not tax, from 2019 to fiscal year 2023. We have reliably accredited the payment of our tax obligationssaid.
