The President of the Administrative Council of the Senate of the Republic, Alejandro Armenta Mierexpressed its rejection of the temporary restitution of the Executive Secretary of the National Electoral Institute (INE), Edmond James.
And it is that, on March 9, the resolution obtained from the Electoral Tribunal of the Judiciary of the Federation was announced (TEPJF) where a provisional suspension has been granted under transitional Article 17 of the Electoral “Plan B”.
In this regard, the activist also from Morena, Armenta Mier, described as “shameful” the average unanimously granted to the ninth collegiate court in administrative matters.
“I am ashamed that justice is on its knees, it must be remembered that this subject was the one that made fun of the indigenous community of our country,” he said during his press conference.
What the senator of the bench of cherries expressed was referring to a leaked call in 2015 between the still president of the INE, Lorenzo Córdova and the executive secretary.
In her, Cordoba Vianellomade racist derision of the representatives of the indigenous peoples, who at the time demanded the creation of the sixth constituency so that they could nominate candidates.
The conference, held in April 8 years ago and disclosed in Youtubesparked public outrage over the way the INE president spoke about the indigenous leaders with whom he held a meeting moments before making the call.
In the conversation, two people are heard on the phone, one of them is Lorenzo Córdova, and the other is the executive secretary, Edmundo Jacobo. It should be noted that the secretary did not add much dialogue.
After this parenthesis and in this context, Alejandro Armenta reiterated his disagreement that Edmond James Return to the electorate.
“The people of Mexico don’t have to keep it for life, it’s a shame that a mocking subject still protects himself, and it’s a shame that the judge who granted it is also an accomplice,” said cut short the Morenista.
It should be added that one of the arguments which allowed the “victory” of the head of the INE over the Plan B was that there was no reason to leave office, since he had been appointed to the period February 2020 to February 2026as explained later.
The measure against Section 17 transitional is temporary, and could be contested, but it is a point in favor of the INE, since the organization has taken legal measures in favor of Edmundo Jacobo to avoid his dismissal.
And it is that for the institution responsible for monitoring the electoral processes, the departure of the official – who has worked in the organization for more than a decade – has resulted in measures that have violated the autonomy of the INE.
“The Authority subscribes to its commitment to comply with the Law; however, this decree is unconstitutional because it invades the powers of the electoral authority and contravenes the rights protected by the Constitution,” he said in a statement.
Edmundo Jacobo’s return to office is part of the “battle” led by the National Electoral Institute against the series of changes that came into force on March 2, the day Plan B was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF).
