The official letter signed by Félix Arturo Medina, Fiscal Attorney, in the absence of the head of the Treasury, Rogelio Ramírez de la O, states that “It is not legally feasible to grant because in fiscal year 2022 approved by the Chamber of Deputies there is no allocation provision of resources that allows the INE budget to be increased or, exceptionally, to grant additional resources”.
In the official letter, the official stated that according to the legislation, it is only appropriate for the body to carry out a budget readjustment to its approved expenditure when it has additional income.
On January 13, the INE asked the Treasury for 1,738 million pesos in addition to its spending, to complete the resources for the process, which it proposes to carry out in April. Since then, he anticipated that if he did not obtain the increase in his spending, he would be forced to install not the 162,000 polling stations, but about half.
