Culiacán, Sinaloa.- The face of López Obrador smiling along with the phrase “We are going to vote for AMLO to continue this April 10”, has appeared in the municipalities of Mazatlán, Culiacán, Guasave and Guamúchil, referring to spectacular to the revocation of mandate.
However, since they do not have the INE seal, there is doubt about their origin and the possibility that they may be illegal or misinforming, therefore, the executive member of the INE in Sinaloa, Jorge Luis Ruelas Miranda, explained in an interview for THE DEBATE that the Electoral Court already has the first complaints in the state to investigate their origin. It should be noted that in a first resolution, the INE, at the national level, has already asked to withdraw billboards in 15 entities.

This is due to the fact that article 35 of the Revocation of Mandate Law states that citizens will be able to make known their position on the revocation of the mandate by all the means at their disposal, individually or collectively, except for the withholdings established in the fourth paragraph of article 33 of the same law, which says that they will not be able to buy time on radio and television.
in court
“The question for the Court, and that the Court will surely be solving in the coming days, is: is that billboard that appeared in the main cities of the country, is it protected by article 35?, that is, is it a citizen or a person who was charged 20 thousand pesos and decided to hire a billboard to publicize their position with the media at their fingertips, or is it prohibited because only the INE can do that type of dissemination?
The official believed, however, that most of the people they are considering it as a propaganda that is illegalProof of this is that at least two complaints have already been filed at the national level and one in Sinaloa related to this type of action.
The role of parties
Jorge Luis Ruelas Miranda, executive member of the INE in Sinaloa, explained that in common electoral processes, political parties have some rules for the distribution of propaganda, and one of them is to fully identify the party that is placing it and also register it with the INE with an identification number that is different from all of them. “It is a national account and it is possible to identify by number where the propaganda is, what party it is from or what candidate it is from.”
However, in the case of revocation of mandate, the political parties are prohibited from carrying out this type of dissemination, since the law establishes that dissemination corresponds to the INE. The official said that initially it was planned that the political parties could do it.
The Supreme Court declared on February 2 the paragraph of article 32 of the Revocation of Mandate Law, as unconstitutional. “Initially, the law said: political parties will be able to promote participation in the mandate revocation process and will refrain from applying the resources derived from public financing and private financing, that is, the door was open for the forces political parties participated, but the Court declared that this was not in accordance with the spirit of the law that only the INE could disseminate”, he said in an interview.
