In a meeting at the National Palace, advisers to the National Electoral Institute (INE) asked President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for discretion to guarantee fairness in the 2024 electoral contest.
“Everyone should act within the limits of their powers, it is important and thus we convey it to them, there should be equality in competition. His morning speeches pleaded for discretion and are most relevant. He took it well and said he would look into these issues with communication from the Presidency to implement and respect the rules”, said INE Counselor Dania Ravel.
In this sense, he remarked that the electoral process for the presidential election would begin in the first week of September, so the applicants would have to wait until that date to start their campaigning.

“The election process should start from the 4th in the first week of September; In November they have to report the methods of electing their candidates and after 60 days the pre-campaigns start, so they have to be careful”, said Ravel.
In the balance of the meeting, which he described as historic, the official explained that he also asked López Obrador to review the institute’s budget for the following year.
In this sense, Guadalupe Taddei, the new president of the INE, said that periodic meetings would be held with the federal government to discuss aspects of security and respect for autonomy, as well as the acts of the “Corcholatas”, as the applicants has been done. The presidential election of Morena and its allies is called.
“It is precisely for this reason that we have to hold meetings to see what can be done and what cannot be done, to know how (the officials) should be managed within limits,” he added.
The Presidential Counselor said that there is a commitment from both sides to respect the institutions as well as the inauguration of the President after the conflict with the now former Counselors Lorenzo Córdova and Ciro Murayama.
“We got the opportunity to express ourselves and that is very important. It was a completely open meeting, we are going to have tables, meetings very soon with the areas of communication, well-being, security, everything with the directors and the chairman Beech is the product of this meeting,” Taddei said.
