Meanwhile, López Vences recognized that the organization of this election represents a challenge in “organizational terms” for the correct implementation of the election, especially “given the short time” available for its planning, since it was suspended due to the multiple protections and suspensions. dictated by judges.
He stressed that the INE will be “up to the task” of citizen demand, who expect a fair, equitable, transparent and well-organized electoral process, so it is time to show the institutional strength that characterizes the electoral body.
Counselor Norma de la Cruz explained that another challenge will be to fully understand the election of judges, magistrates and ministers of the Supreme Court, to not only implement it, but also communicate and explain it to the citizens.
