Sheinbaum to contest Ine as a decision against promoting court elections
Sheinbaum told journalists that his government had not yet been officially informed of the decision of the National Electoral Institute (INE) to ban federal, state and municipal governments, public institutions and individual civil servants to promote the first judicial elections in Mexico.
“We have not yet been informed,” she said, adding that such a rule will only take effect after notification of people affected.
The judicial elections will take place on June 1 thanks to A controversial legal reform approved by the congress last September. The official campaign period for candidates for judgments, including the judge positions of the Supreme Court, began on Sunday.
Sheinbaum said his government has simply reminded people that the elections arrive, not to campaign on behalf of the candidates.
She clearly indicated that she did not agree with the Ine decision, and Sunday – when the ban came into force – and Monday when she did not comply.
“We are not going to promote the vote for one person or another, but simply participation (in the elections),” said Sheinbaum.
She told journalists that the federal government would dispute the Ine’s decision against the federal electoral court “because we think it is important that the executive and legislative power, without ordering (citizens to vote) of one or another, … participate in the dissemination of this transformational event which will take place in Mexico on June 1.”.
Sheinbaum and other federal officials say that the election of judges is necessary to rid the judiciary of corruption and other ills such as nepotism.
Critics of the judicial elections argue that the elections of judges will erode the independence of the judiciary of Mexico, because it will become stacked with sympathetic judges on the agenda of the Party Morena in power, thus suppressing vital control of the executive power.
