Wow, it caused a stir decision of Sinaloa Electoral Tribunal (TESIN)which resolved as appropriate incompatibility in it simultaneous registration of candidatesparticularly in the case of those who are registered by the mayorships in the relative majority formbut what they also appeared in it list of multi-member councilors.
With this decision of TESINwhich was even accepted by the Sinaloa Electoral Institute (IEES)it is ordered in a few words that the political parties, coalitions and independents (non-existent), remove from your lists of councilors by proportional means (pluris), all those who go as mayoral candidates either procurator trustees, or vice versa. In the case of the procurator trustees, this prohibition was even already stated, within the same Guidelines issued by the local electoral authority for the registration of candidacies (section B of article 75).
With this setback of the TESIN, which originally came from a consultation of the PRI, a true Pandora's box was opened for political parties, since thanks to this many parties were harmed, especially in the case of small parties (electorally speaking). And the fact is that this simultaneous duplication of candidacies had already become quite a custom, when nominating candidates for mayors where, rather than thinking about winning, the real objective is to increase their vote as much as possible, for which In exchange, they are usually offered the guarantee of belonging to the council as multiple councilors. Here the issue is that the “Guideline for the Registration of Candidacies to Occupy Popular Election Positions for the 2023-2024 Local Electoral Process”, issued by the IEES, was strictly adhered to what is established in article 22 of the State Electoral Law ( LIPEES), content that has never been attached to the provisions of article 387 of the Federal Electoral Law (LGIPE), so the TESIN determined to simply apply the supremacy to which all regulations are subject. For this reason, then, I find it extremely difficult for any challenge that may arise against this TESIN ruling to proceed. What is appropriate, however, is that the LIPEES must now be modified to prevent such a discrepancy with the federal standard on the matter from subsisting.
ALREADY ALL THIS, DOES THE ELIMINATION OF PLURIS WHEN?. These positions assigned proportionally to the vote obtained, were created by the Mexican electoral system to protect the quantitative electoral expression of political minorities, a purpose that can be said to have primarily fulfilled its objective. However, in the last decade, voices have emerged against this figure of plurinominales, mainly around federal legislators, a position that was created in 1977 through an electoral reform, promoted by the ideologist Don Jesús Reyes Heroles. Here in Sinaloa, for example, in 2017 the LXII Legislature dared to enter into the issue of multi-member candidacies, but we can say that their reformist spirit was half-hearted, because they did not dare to disappear them, but simply to reduce them.
The reality is that in a Mexico where alternation already exists and voters reward or punish with their vote, these positions do not have much reason to exist, since they represent a very large cost, and the majority of them, the vast majority in fact, They are only going to make trouble for Congress or the councils.
But returning to that reform carried out by the LXII Legislature, it could not even be fully implemented, since the reduction in multi-member membership did not reach the deputies and only applied to the councils in the then 18 municipalities that Sinaloa had (today it has 20). Until now, the boat has been rocked and it is time that there is no defined date to eliminate or at least reduce the number of multi-member deputies, those who do not campaign and come to congress due to the relationships or power they hold.
Regarding the figure of the multi-member councilor, given the slight reduction that was established, today they are very coveted positions and more fought over than ever, particularly as we already pointed out, in those small parties that, with little chance of victory, see them as the only option. way to not disappear completely from the political radar, but to do so they must first maintain their registration. That the multi-member positions disappear is an old and always postponed demand, since in exchange for what, perhaps without thinking about it, the PRI of Sinaloa did with consultation on some simultaneous candidacies, we find it very difficult for the political parties represented in the Congress of the Union, you are going to shoot yourself in the foot by eliminating such juicy positions.
