Political reformation

National It is a 'serious risk' if it deteriorates image of the election organism Political reformation By: Carlos Damian August 19, 2013 The main parties politicians coincide to carry out the electoral reformation Mexico.- The tickets imposed by the Electoral Federal Institute (IFE) to candidates to deputies and senators -in their majority of the left-wing - for the high cost of their campaigns of last year they gave cause to coincident postures of PRI, PAN and PRD to impel in next ordinary period of sessions a political-electoral reformation. Nevertheless, the determination of the authority in the matter also carried opposing comments. After accusing that the IFE favored Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN) when not imposing him it fines for it surpasses of you career of campaign expenses like presidential candidate of PRI-PVEM, the general secretary of the PRD, Alejandro Sanchez, affirmed that “experience police misses its party, administrative and financial for that stage of the electoral processes besides that those of the IFE are right’s assistant". It pointed out that those of the PRI, “although, they know all the tricks, they are not anything silly; they have an entire professional system, organizational scaffolding to cover these procedures (the presentation of their expenses) with many knacks, and some hidden legal turns it even IFE allows them to it". Camerino Eleazar Marquez, representative of the PRD before the IFE, contradicted that said by his party partner; it sustained that they corrected in time the omissions and observations made by the electoral organ on their reports of campaign expenses. As long as, in the Chamber of Deputies, the coordinator of the PRI, Manlio Fabio Beltrones pointed out the urgency of impelling the necessary political-electoral reformations, without conditioning the changes approval in economic matter. "We go traveling that road together, and I am sure that the population will understand that, on one hand, we make the economic and financial reformations that generate employment to the Mexicans, by means of the economic growth, and for other side, the political-electoral ones that give satisfaction to the political parties for more regular wars". In trick tone, the leader of the PAN’s group, Luis Alberto Villarreal, announced the decision of his party of impelling the political-electoral changes. "We cannot amuse at this time with other reformations; for very important that they are, because they take to the country to a very critical, very delicate situation; if we allow that it continues deteriorating the image, the functionality and the prestige of the responsible organ of bolstering the democracy in the country we run a serious risk". Silvano Aureoles Conejo, coordinator of the PRD, reproached the determination of the consultants of the IFE of fining with little more than 9 millions 29 thousand dollars to the left-wing party. "I find an untenable argument, because it seemed that it is necessary to learn how to twist the law, because the sanctioned parties were transparent, honest; they divided their resources in presidential campaigns, of senators and of deputies, and it was made in way but or less equal". Some investigators of the UAM, coincide in that the current electoral legislation “protects the abuse of the parties and it allows that they are surpassed with impunity you collide them of political campaign." The candidates of the PRI happened you collide of campaign Of the candidates that postulated the parties of the PRI, PVEM, integral of the coalition Commitment for Mexico (CM), and that they obtained spaces in the Senate or in the Chamber of Deputies, 78 made it violating the cat’s rock of campaign expenses, according to the verdict approved by the IFE on the revision of the proselytizing expenditures in the federal processes. According to the list of those now legislators, the senators highlight for Quintana Roo, Felix Arturo Gonzalez Canto, former governor of the entity and Jorge Emilio Gonzalez, former leader of the PVEM. Both overcame the limit of 224 thousand 74.67 dollars for each entity (in the case of senators it notices function of the number of voters and districts that it understands). In the case of PRI’s man, the one surpasses it was of 16 thousand 22.73 dollars, as long as the environmentalist reached 20 thousand 957.25 (USD), what means little more than 10 percent of the one that had allowed as applicant to the Senate, according to a recount diffused by Camerino Marquez (CM), representative of the PRD before the IFE, starting from the data of the approved verdict. It sustained that these violations were carried out although the one averages of expenses made by the Unit of Inspection for the case of the CM it was illegal, because it was carried out among more number of applicants. It means, when being a partial coalition, PRI and PVEM both contended in a separate way in 101 districts and in 20 states in a differentiated way, but for effects of average of expenses they were counted for twice, CM said. In the pursuit on the situation among the candidates to deputies, surpass them they reached much bigger percentages, as the case of the district 10 of Michoacan whose deputy, Ernesto Nunez Aguilar, spent 64 thousand 836 dollars more than the 74 mil 691 dollars that allowed him the law, what means more than 80 percent. While his coreligionist of the district eight, Eligio Gonzalez spent 59 thousand 282 dollars more than the one collides legal. Impacted by the outline of average used by CM, in the one that suspiciously tendency is observed to reduce him spend to the presidential campaign of EPN; surpass them they were given especially in almost whole entities, as the states of Mexico and Jalisco. In the registered first case 26 of the 40 of the coalition they won forcing the electoral legislation, as long as in the second they made it in that way 16 of the 19 deputies. That situation reproduced, for example, in Yucatan, where four of the five candidates that contended surpassed the limit of campaign expenses, or 11 deputed of Puebla State for that coalition also arrived to the seat legislative transgressing the legal picture in the matter. We reject to that accelerates the distribution of the districts 2015, 2018 and 2021 IFE will begin today to elaborate the first scenario of the redistritación that will be effective during the next three federal electoral processes. It has foreseen to conclude the procedure before it concludes Leonardo Valdes Zurita’s administration, at the end of next October. The legal dispositions point out that to adapt the distribution from the 300 federal districts to the rhythm and tendencies of demographic growth in the country, IFE will carry out the division of the districts again with intervals of three electoral processes. Headed by the executive direction of the Federal Registration of Voters, today this new stage will begin, with the objective of achieving consents with the parties, and this way that governs during the federal elections of 2015, 2018, and 2021 with this divide districts again. However, of entrance, the terms foreseen for their elaboration don't generate full consent in the parties. If for the representative of PAN before the National Commission of Surveillance, Florencio Gonzalez, in principle the times fixed by the IFE can be good to take out the divide districts again ahead, for the PRD’s man Eduardo Ramirez there is an obstinacy of the institute to approve this complex procedure before it concludes the administration of the president of the IFE. According to the opinion of the PRD’s man, there is an “unjustified urgency” to conclude the works, in spite of the complexity of a very technical procedure that they require of more terms so that it can really have exchange among the observations from the parties to the scenario outlined by the IFE and that they are picked up in the final proposal. He mentioned for example that the program used for this divide districts again makes practically incompatible to revise the proposals outside of the programs of the institute, because it is not even possible to open them in other computers or to print the files that leave generating. It indicated that the important thing for the IFE should be that there is a real construction of the consent scenario, but that requires bigger terms; it could be that you conclude the procedure between February and next March, he said.
