Ignacio Mierpresident of the Political Coordination Board (jucopo) of the Chamber of Deputies, announced that finally, after four postponements, there is already a agreement between benches parliamentarians to promote a bill with the endorsement of the majority that reforms the electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF); however, even after showing their signatures on the document, the leaders of the PRI, PAN and PRD indicated that they will not support the initiative.
Through social networks, the coordinator of the bank of National Regeneration Movement (Brunette) pointed out this Thursday, April 13, that to clear up any doubts, in relation to the transcendental Constitutional reform that gives legal certainty to the democratic life of Mexico, the six parliamentary coordinators who signed the initiative, agreed to improve the design of the opinion. “So that there is no doubt”.
This is because many legislators and legislators, including promoters of the Fourth Transformation (4T) had expressed their surprise at different sections, particularly those referring to affirmative actions and the interference of the Court in political parties. It was for this reason that, in addition, he offered a press conference where he was accompanied by Juan Ramiro Robledopresident of the Constitutional Points Commission.
During the conference held at the Legislative Palace of San Lázarothe morenistas highlighted four points: affirmative actions are maintained, continuity is given to the substantive equality (gender parity), the attributes of the TEPJF and the autonomy of political parties is respected.
In detail, Mier Velazco pointed out that minorities will have, if this initiative is approved, representation in the federal legislature, since the new text requires that affirmative action will have a minimum of 10% representation, this means that there will be 50 representatives (10 for each affirmative action that represents a minority), but it can be more.
Under this same logic, the parliamentary leader pointed out that the substantive gender equalityIn fact, he specified that this is guaranteed by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (CPEUM) and if there was any concern on the part of any deputy, then with the new wording, the issue was clarified.
In addition, it specified that the attributions of the electoral Tribunalonly delimits the scope in which they can intervene, this so that Do not mess with the internal life of the Chamber of Deputies nor Senate of the Republic It should be remembered that the TEPJF intervened in the process of selecting electoral advisers and the formation of the Permanent Commission.
Finally, to clarify the matter of interference in the political partiesRobledo Ruiz made use of his voice to specify that the internal life of the institutes will be respected, but its members may go to the Court to file complaints so that this body can follow up.
This means that the TEPJF will not be able to intervene in the internal processes of the parties such as the election of their leaders and the time they can be there; however, they will attend to the complaints that arrive from their militants to resolve discrepancies or outrages.
“There is a degree of autonomy for the parties, but electoral justice above them”
In addition to this, the institutes will abide by the constitutional mandate of gender parity, in addition to the fact that 10% of their candidates must emanate from affirmative actions, although it was emphasized that the parties will continue with the ability to self-regulate their times, procedures and manner. to solve problems in the first instance.
It is in this context that the president of Jucopo pointed out that the next step is to raise the initiative to the Plenary of the Chamber of Deputies for Tuesday 18, where it is expected to be approved with a qualified majority (two thirds), to be sent to the Senate of the Republic and that it replicate the vote. In this regard, it is noted that Citizen movement (MC) still does not agree with the project, but they they represent 9.38% in the Senate yeahl 5.4% in Deputies.
