Mexico City.- The Specialized Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF) forgave the massive display of propaganda in favor of Claudia Sheinbaum prior to the start of the electoral process.
Unanimously, the magistrates argued that the deadline to resolve 91 complaints filed by various people and political parties for anticipated pre-campaign and campaign events had expired, since two years had already passed since the first complaint.
These are derived from the positioning of the phrases “#EsClaudia” and “#QueSigalaTransformation” on fences, urban equipment, billboards, banners, signs, posters, publications on social networks, distribution of newspapers and stickers on transport units throughout the country, as well as such as tours of various states and interviews with the then head of Government of Mexico City. “The expiration of the sanctioning power of this electoral authority is determined, since, from the filing of the first complaint until the day on which the file was filed for the second time, more than two years elapsed, so it is considered that The instruction period exceeded what was stipulated by the applicable regulations,” they considered.
“With the understanding that this investigating authority had various periods of procedural inactivity, without a justified, reasonable and objectively appreciable cause being proven for this.”
The president of the Specialized Chamber, Luis Espíndola, clarified that although he agreed with the expiration, he criticized that there were periods of inactivity in the review of said cases.
They insist on AMLO’s interference
The Chamber also resolved that the now former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador did violate the principles of impartiality, neutrality and equity in the contest in his mornings on March 4, 5 and 6, in the electoral campaign, by carrying out propaganda in favor of Sheinbaum and his party.
“(Made) improper use of public resources, since from the review of the expressions made, it is estimated that achievements, actions, programs and lines of government were made known with the purpose of generating adhesion and acceptance. Likewise, it is noted that political-electoral issues are addressed,” he stated. Furthermore, it was determined that the then president failed to comply with the precautionary measures in their aspect of preventive protection that the INE Complaints and Complaints Commission had imposed on him, since it had ordered him to refrain, under any modality or format, from making statements, comments, opinions. or statements on electoral issues. Although most of the officials who intervened in the morning were no longer there, the internal Comptroller’s Office was seen. In another complaint by the PAN member Federico Döring against López Obrador for interference in the race, the magistrates did not agree with him, but determined that he did disseminate government achievements, which is prohibited.
