Mexico City.- The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation admitted the actions of unconstitutionality that political parties and legislators presented against the first package of the so-called “Plan B” of the electoral reform.
Five demands were referred to Minister Alberto Pérez Dayán.
These are the reforms to the General Law of Social Communication and the General Law of Administrative Responsibilities, which form the first package of electoral reforms approved last December by Congress.
The Court admitted the unconstitutionality actions presented by the PRD, PAN and PRI, with files 29, 30 and 31, respectively.
Also the unconstitutionality actions promoted by deputies of the Va por México coalition, PAN, PRI and PRD, with file 37.
The senators’ unconstitutionality action has the signatures of the parties of said coalition, plus those of MC and Grupo Plural.
In the unconstitutionality actions, the parties and legislators accused that equity in the electoral processes is violated, by allowing public servants to pronounce themselves in favor of a candidate.
It was also argued against the fast track with which Morena approved the reform, because after the constitutional reform of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was rejected, reforms to secondary laws were immediately presented in the Chamber of Deputies, for which there was no time to know or discuss before approval.
The constitutional controversies presented by the National Electoral Institute and a City Council are still pending.
