CDMX.- In their search for the candidacy of Morena for the Presidency of the Republic in 2024, the “corcholatas” have violated the electoral law without being sanctioned by their superiors.
The offenses they have incurred range from attending events with governors during the electoral period that have resulted in violation of equity in the contest, promotion of the President and institutional violence to the dissemination of propaganda in the period of revocation of mandate.
The morenista with the most offenses is the head of government Claudia Sheinbaum, who has 15 records for violating the electoral law since 2021.
They are followed by Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, with two, and the coordinator of the Morena senators, Ricardo Monreal, with one. The head of the Interior, Adán Augusto López, does not appear until now.
As of January 16, there are 18 records in the Catalog of Sanctioned Subjects (CASS) of the Specialized Regional Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal, according to a review by El Universal.
The Specialized Chamber or the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary can hold public servants accountable for violating electoral law and, under current criteria, could deny them registration as presidential candidates for not meeting the requirement of “having a honest to live”.
To apply the sanctions, their hierarchical superior is given a hearing, that is, the local Congresses in the case of governors or the head of Government and the Internal Control Body, in the case of secretaries or legislators.
The Board of Directors of the Congress of Mexico City is in charge of establishing a sanction to the head of GovernmentHowever, in the cases that have been addressed, the majority voted not to impose any, considering that there is no legal basis.
In this regard, Deputy Héctor Díaz Polanco (Morena), president of the Board of Directors, argued that there is no regulation that specifies what sanction to impose, so there is no possibility of doing so.
Senator Ricardo Monreal’s team indicated that the TEPJF gave notice to the Internal Comptroller of the Senate to act accordingly, however, they indicated that the only thing that proceeded was a private “call to attention” and the case was closed.
In June, the Superior Chamber of the TEPJF determined that the loss of the honest way of life of those who repeat electoral crimes could be analyzed, after the repeated violations of public servants of Morena in the process of revocation of mandate.
An honest way of living is a requirement for access to public officebut with the electoral reform proposal in Congress, a padlock would be placed so that no applicant can be sanctioned with the impediment of registering a candidacy.
