Mexico City.- Morena in the Senate took advantage of the secondary reforms for the election in the Judiciary to give the president of the INE, Guadalupe Taddei, more power: she will now be able to appoint the directors of the electoral body without the support of the counselors.
In a year and a half at the head of the Institute, the Sonoran has not managed to get her proposals supported by eight of the 11 councilors, so of the 17 management positions, 10 are office managers.
Currently, the General Law of Electoral Procedures and Institutions (Legipe) establishes that the heads of the Executive Secretariat of the INE, the directorates, technical units and coordinations will have to be elected with the votes of eight of the 11 electoral councilors. However, on Tuesday, at the last minute, the senator for Nayarit, Pavel Jarero, presented an addition to the reform of said legislation, which has nothing to do with the election to the Judiciary, to give that power to the president, and was endorsed.
“The following powers correspond to the President of the General Council: e) Propose to the General Council the appointment of the Executive Secretary.
“P) Appoint the executive directors and other heads of technical units of the Institute,” indicates the reform endorsed in committees and which will be voted on in the plenary session tomorrow, Thursday. In addition, it suggests changing the composition of the General Executive Board, which is chaired by the president and made up of top-level positions, to integrate a Legal Affairs directorate, currently there is the Legal Directorate. This Board is also given more powers, since the current legislation clarifies that its power will be to establish the administrative procedures, in accordance with the general policies and programs of the Institute. “Approve the corresponding agreements for the coordination and execution of the administrative, technical, operational activities of the Institute and the coordination of the Local and District Executive Boards, related to the organization of the elections of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial powers, as well as to the ordinary functioning of the Institute”, establishes the reform.
