The former opposition presidential candidate Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz presented this Thursday before the National Electoral Institute (INE) of Mexico a challenge to the 2023-2024 electoral process and asked that an investigation be opened and, if applicable, sanction the probable intervention of the president Andrés Manuel López Obradoras well as violence and intervention by organized crime.
In a statement, Gálvez clarified that “It is not about asking for the annulment of the election, but for there to be a sanction against President López Obrador for his interference in the electoral process” which culminated with the triumph of Claudia Sheinbaum, who obtained 35 million votesthat is, almost 60% of the votes in the June 2 elections.
He explained that a “Trial for the Protection of the Political-Electoral Rights of the Citizen” with the purpose of contribute elements to the presidential qualification and that his arguments are taken into account in the recitals of his sentence.
He pointed out that The last elections “were not characterized by being clean and level playing field,” since the State apparatus was used to promote the official candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum.
“I am not asking for annulment of the election”
“Yes, I am contesting. I am not asking for the annulment of the election. What I am asking is that the Court sanction the President because there have been more than 50 yellow cards. In a soccer match with two yellow cards you are sent off and not here. “The President continued, continued, continued and the Court has to do something,” he explained.
He said that he will also ask the Court to investigate the use of public resources in the campaign of Sheinbaum, candidate of the Let’s Keep Making History coalition, since López Obrador “presented the social programs as his own and expressed that if another party won they would be removed.”
In the document that he delivered to the INE, Galvez recalled that before the start of the electoral process, López Obrador used the space of his daily conferences to act as a true “campaign manager” for Sheinbaum.
