Colima.- The President AMLO exhibited the total cost that the citizen consultation will have for the revocation of mandateas well as the price per box, accusing an excessive cost on the part of the INE.
During his morning conference from the state of Colima, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico, compared cost data and boxes on the popular consultation held in 2021, and the new one for the revocation of the mandate that will take place on April 10.
AMLO showed a table that highlighted the cost of the previous consultation amounting to just over 502 million pesos, with which 57 thousand 77 voting booths were installed for the democratic exercise, at a cost of 8 thousand 805 pesos per module.

While, in the new consultation for the revocation of the mandate, the INE allocated one thousand 692 million pesos, with which 57 thousand boxes will be installed; that is, a cost of almost 30 thousand pesos per box.
President Andrés Manuel compared that the same democratic exercise is being carried out, but with a budget that was almost tripled for the revocation of mandate.
In this sense, and with the few boxes that will be installed, AMLO indicated that a violation of the Mexican Constitutionsince the mandate for revocation was not being respected.
“I don’t want to stay with the complaint anymore, because there are going to be municipalities where they are not going to install a polling place, it is a violation of the Constitution, if there is a constitutional mandate they cannot claim that there is no money because they have a sufficient budget, no only because the conejeros earn more than the president of the Republic (…) if it is a mandate they suspend expenses to comply with the Constitution”, he declared.
The federal president called on the INE to request help from the state electoral bodies to be able to install the necessary polling places in the elections on April 10.

“Hopefully, and without it being taken as pressure, but on very good terms, I ask the INE council to meet and increase the number of polling places and to resort to mechanisms such as the support of state and local authorities,” pointed out.
