The presiding magistrate of the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation (TEPJF), Reyes Rodríguez Mondragón, proposed to the National Electoral Institute (INE) to develop guidelines to generate spaces to reply to the messages issued, for example, in the morning conference of President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador.

The proposal was presented in the session in which the election to the governorship of Hidalgo was qualified, in favor of Julio Ramón Menchaca from Moreno and against the request of the opposition (PAN, PRI and PRD) to annul the contest.

The magistrates assured that it was proven that the President of the Republic and various public servants violated the principles of impartiality, neutrality and equity, although the infractions were not decisive in modifying the result and less in destroying the election.

Rodríguez Mondragón said that the previous events cannot be analyzed in isolation, but rather as a campaign strategy by public servants, including candidates for the Presidency.

And although he recognized that the irregularities were not decisive in annulling the election, even when they were serious (especially due to the margin of difference between the first and second places, of 30 percent, equivalent to more than 300,000 votes), it is necessary to generate mechanisms to discourage bad practices, balance the court and repair damages.

An example would be that the INE regulates and approves guidelines in order to provide a right of response in similar conditions in which morning conferences are broadcast, when it comes to political-electoral propaganda that affects campaigns.he pointed.

This implies, he indicated, linking the media and make available to the candidacies, of the affected political parties, the same time for them to issue their reply.

The purpose must be to counteract the imbalance that favors groups and parties related to those who intervene unduly and have a government communication format to make their voices heard.
