The vileness against the INE reaches the extreme of focusing against two of the 11 councillors.
Parodying the Time of Scoundrels with which Lillian Hellman described the McCarthyist persecutions against liberals and communists in the middle of the last century, Lorenzo Córdova calls “times of cheats” those that the National Electoral Institute that he heads as president adviser has been capping.
“In no fair, in no electoral contest, is it worth changing the rules in the middle of the game because this directly impacts the certainty, trust and legitimacy of the results,” he says, referring to the discouragement that “liars and cheats” can generate in the citizens to go to the polls on April 10.
With Joaquín López-Dóriga on Radio Formula, he highlighted yesterday that “part of the clarity, the legitimacy, the confidence in an electoral process, is that the rules can be changed, but before the game starts”, and that of the consultation of revocation in progress no longer admits modifications.
Faced with the illegal “interpretation” decrees with which quadrotheism seeks to justify violations of what the Constitution prohibits, he explained that the norms can be changed 90 days before the process in which they are intended to be applied begins, or they are considered valid to enter into law. force but until the following electoral exercise.
When there is little more than 15 days left for the consultation, senators, deputies, officials and even directors and militants of Morena, supported by their contlapaches from other parties, need to impose new rules, carry out illegal and shameless propaganda to the federal government and whimper about the counterclaims made by the INE.
Goaded by Joaquín to identify the “liars and cheats”, Córdova avoided personalizing and circumscribing the description of the President of the Republic:
“They are all those public actors who are prohibited by law and who are violating the law; they are all those who put rules and today they don’t like them and they make fun of them; they are all those who do not have a democratic commitment to whom precautionary measures have been issued time after time, which have been ratified by the Electoral Tribunal and which corrode the democratic framework and, it must be said with all the letters, distance the citizenship of participation mechanisms. They are those, there are many, we are seeing it every day. The INE determines it in its precautionary measures and the Electoral Tribunal confirms them. They are the cheats who violate the rules of the game that they themselves agreed to and that they themselves put in the Constitution and in the law…”.
It hit dry, hard and to the brains of the morenista deputies and senators:
“When you have to approve a decree to say how the rules you made should be interpreted, according to you, that tells you that the rules you made are not clear”
They cannot promote the revocation because the law they approved mandates that publicizing it is an exclusive power of the INE.
But “we are in times of liars, in times of cheats.”
In time of scoundrels…
