Adán Augusto López, head of the Ministry of the Interior (Segob), supported that the four new directors of the National Electoral Institute (INE) be chosen through the insaculation (draw), because Lorenzó Córdova leaves in April, Ciro Murayama, Adriana Margarita Favela Herrera and José Roberto Ruiz Saldaña.

Adán Augusto López denied the conflict between the government and INE after being accused of wanting to “dismember” him

The Secretary of the Interior dismissed the controversies generated by the reforms to the electoral system between the federal administration and the electoral referees

During the Plenary session of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), López Hernández pointed out this Monday, January 30, that this method will inhibit “quotism” and “owing the position” to a particular democratic current, for which reason the composition of the next Council Electoral would be one of the freest since that body was established.

“There is no need to be afraid of it, that’s right: it will be by insaculation. We are against ‘quotism’; That is why they finished off the country, they shared it out as booty and those charges were essential for them”

In addition to this, he announced that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) proposes the creation of a new initiative to put an end to the excessive salaries paid in said decentralized body, “I think that more or less in March it could be presented”, mentioned. In this sense, he said that the reform that was approved in political-electoral matters, known as AMLO’s Plan B, complies with all constitutional formalities, so that the appeals presented before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) only they will serve as the process that legitimizes the President’s Electoral Reform.

The choice of the next electoral advisers could depend on luck

If the Chamber of Deputies does not agree, the Supreme Court could select the best profiles through the insaculation

He said that the opposition groups have the right to file the legal remedies that they consider pertinent, as the parties that make up the Va por México coalition (PRI, PAN and PRD) have already done), “another thing is that the reason”.

On his own, Ignacio Mier Velazco, leader of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, maintained that the four INE directors will be the product of a transparent and legal selection exercise, which also guarantees gender parity. In addition, given the cancellation of the first call, which came out in December 2022, he reported that the new one will come out in March 2023.

“The democratic definition of who will replace the four directors, among others Ciro Murayama and Lorenzo Córdova, two women and two men, will be the product of an exercise in transparency, legality”

In relation to the draw, he specified that it will take place in a specific setting. He indicated that, if there is no construction of a qualified majority within San Lázaro, the election will have to take place based on the method of insaculation in the SCJN indicated in Article 41 of the Constitution, to put an end to this practice of “quotas and cuates ”.

“First, the process will be exhausted in the Chamber of Deputies, if the insaculation process does not take place here, it will go to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN)”

The insaculation is a method that consists of electing officials by putting ballots or IDs in a sack, bag or pitcher, so that it is luck and chance that defines the next electoral advisers; However, although this possibility is not yet a reality, San Lázaro will ensure that only the best profiles are in the bag.

Ricardo Monreal ruled out being a ‘corcholata’ of Morena: “I don’t want to offend anyone”

The senator also denied that he will abandon the party to promote his candidacy for the presidency with the opposition, but assured that he will not stop having his own criteria

Hamlet García, deputy of Morena, explained a possibility since January 26, in which the other selection filters could be adjusted so that the number of citizens who aspire to be electoral advisers is reduced in the application of the exam and interviews, in such a way that the best qualified and with the best aptitudes and attitudes would be the ones who would participate in the lottery that would be in charge of the Supreme Court.
