Given the information that the project circulating in the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF) proposes the reinstatement of Edmundo Jacobo Molina as executive secretary of the National Electoral Institute (INE), President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said: we have no problem. And it shouldn’t surprise us either, because it’s the same; that court has twisted the law as it wanted.

He considered that the legal actions pursued by Jacobo Molina fit into the old adage of politics in Mexico that to live outside the budget is to live in error. For López Obrador, the possible reinstatement of the former INE official reflects that it is the same group in the electoral field. Remember that they were the (magistrates) who canceled the candidacies of our movement in Guerrero and Michoacán, without legal grounds, by slogan.

In his morning conference, the president asked constitutionalists and lawyers specializing in electoral issues to analyze the legal grounds for the annulment of these candidacies so that they realize the tendentious, illegal, and arbitrary way in which those who should decide legally, righteously act. and principles, he said.

On the other hand, questioned about the disagreement in some sectors of Morena about an alleged partiality of Regeneration, the information organ of the party, in favor of the head of government, Claudia Sheinbaum, López Obrador declined to pronounce: one owns his silence and sometimes is hostage to what he expresses; So, I don’t want to say anything, I don’t want to be hostage.

However, he later stated: The only thing I can tell you is that those who aspire to replace me in the transformation movement have behaved very well, requetebién; very well, very good. In the conservative block, there will be a pay-per-view there, because there are about 50.
