Mexican Electoral Institute lives lack of credibility

They will also present a resource before the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power against the refusal of six advisors – who were accused of following the line of the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI), in government, against the refusal to discuss two agreements concerning the use of public resources and social programs.
Following the inauguration of some tables of electoral district, Cordova said that “we are aware of the deficit of the public credibility of the INE, which we have to go to rebuilding, acting in accordance with the law and decisions.”
He proposed to open dialogue with the seven political parties that left the meeting of the General Council as a sign of dissatisfaction, however, he clarified, the lines of INE will not be decisive.

He pointed out that therein lies the independence and autonomy of the INE, not only with respect to other bodies of Government, but also of the political parties.”
These seven parties are: The Movement of National Regeneration (Morena), Democratic Revolution (PRD), the Labor Party (PT), left; Acción Nacional (PAN), conservative; Citizen Movement, Social Democrat; Encuentro Social, political centre, and Humanist (PH) , self-proclaimed of participation.
