INE leaves it up in the air if Xochitl Galvez’s involvement with Maria Rosa will be considered a campaign act

Controversy continues over Xochitl Gálvez’s participation in a program of María Rosa. The group invited the opposition candidate to a rally on 19 May, the same day of the third presidential debate, to nominate him as their presidential candidate. Morena has demanded that the event be considered under his campaign expenses. When asked about this, Guadalupe Taddei, president of the National Electoral Institute, explained that the organization can only monitor activities that are included in the official agenda presented by the candidates. “This is not an issue that concerns INE, this is an issue that concerns its teams, this is their issue,” Taddei said in reported statements. Improvement, “It’s his program. He’s the candidate. He has to decide with his campaign team what suits him or what doesn’t,” he said.

However, Taddei clarified that if Galvez does not present her agenda in time so that the INE team can monitor the program, she could be banned. “You have to follow the rules,” he warned. The PAN, PRI and PRD candidate announced this week that she intended to attend the rally in the capital’s Zocalo. After Pink Tide initially presented itself as a civil and non-partisan movement, this decision has been criticized by Morena and the Citizens’ Movement (MC). After making public their support for Gálvez, other parties have accused the opposition front of orchestrating the protests. MC standard bearer Jorge Alvarez Menez charged, “This is illegal, dishonest, a betrayal of those who believed this was a non-partisan, non-electoral civic effort.”
