The national political group "Que Siga la Democracia" announced its intention to file a challenge with the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power (TEPJF) against the National Electoral Institute's (INE) resolution denying it registration as a national political party.
รdgar Garza Ancira, the national leader of "Que Siga la Democracia," stated that the organization respects institutions. He argued that denying registration to a group he claims fulfilled legal procedures sends a message counterproductive to strengthening democratic life. Garza Ancira indicated that the organization is awaiting the detailed arguments behind the INE's decision, noting that the debate during the session where the decision was made seemed limited given the significance of rejecting a new political force.
sends a message contrary to strengthening democratic life
Garza Ancira admitted that there were "lacks and irregularities" in the registration of affiliates for his political group. However, he accused that these were "not of the magnitude that was intended to be shown during the General Council session." He expressed confidence that the Superior Chamber will analyze the case in accordance with the law and guarantee legal certainty, as the INE's decision is not final.
"Que Siga la Democracia" reaffirmed its firm commitment to strengthening democracy through a statement released on Saturday afternoon. The group awaits the Electoral Tribunal's review, hoping for a fair analysis of the case.
