It isn’t what is the same that the electoral Federal Institute and Luis Carlos Ugalde .
México (The news of the Monterrey City).- The Electoral Federal Institute (IFE) is an institution series and solid, that counts on technical and administrative personnel of first level, they are contracted and competent for the most part, during the presidency of the counselor Lic. José Woldenberg, motive by him which we assert that the elections of the 2006 were ordered, transparent and just.
This affirmation we make it by virtue that our organization - Group by a better country A. C. -, it accredited to the greater number of electoral observers, having trained, pursuant to the by-laws of the IFE, to more than 26 thousand voluntary observant. Jaime Cárdenas García ex electoral counselor, outlined that if the political forces don’t achieve to remove them of his cargo with the electoral reform, it is possible to make it through political judgments or origin statement.
A calmness in the Mexican panorama
He abounded on the particular upon expressing that they are nominated - the counselors - by seven years, but "before the conflict electoral, what is wrong that they organized the process the last year, the legitimacy lack of the organ, it more adequate is that leave of the council (General of the IFE)". They would be felt sure because "they were responsible for what is inequitable" than resulted the elections. For "have them disregarded the improper intromissions of Vicente Fox" (…), the black campaigns, (…) the interference of the entrepreneurs", with their actions believe they that were earned their permanency of seven years to the front of the organization. (La Jornada, politica, p. 10, September 03, 2007)
Very different is our opinion about Luis Carlos Ugalde, of Elba Esther Gordillo, and of Vicente Fox with his wife Martha Sahagún. For they previously cited is known by the population the great political dependency that Ugalde has with all of them. This personage, with motive of his performance to the front of the IFE in the elections of the 2006, he achieved that all the parties and the citizenship distrusted of the arbitrator electoral.
The unfortunate statements and they not own of Ugalde the night of the 2 of July, created them great distrust between the population, more yet, when immediately after they were produced for the president Fox, something which revealed that previously they had been put into agreement, well what I mean it was tried to state elections.
It is announced that are woven alliances in favor of the PAN in the IFE
It is public and manifesto the squandering that made Ugalde of the money of the IFE, traveling by the world as prince, he being lodged in the most luxurious hotels of five stars. Also we can comment that it committed serious electoral offenses in damage of the independent candidates, violating flagrantly the constitution and the electoral law.
Specified Cárdenas Gracia that, each that there is an electoral reform is renewed the integration of the council. Occurred in 1994, in 1996, and "I don’t see it why the current counselors have to stay in the cargo when they acted with total omission, they didn’t bring about equity conditions in the electoral process" of 2006, mentioned.
Considered that the nine counselors should leave because none of them "deserves be remained in the cargo. It doesn’t pass anything: (in the IFE) there is a director’s area, of officials that know them perfectly the electoral procedures”.
But the Ugalde statements, insisted Cárdenas Gracía, "don’t make more than demonstrate that it doesn’t has moral quality to stay him to the front of an organization of this nature"; its words "demonstrate his edginess, his preoccupation, he felt that he isn’t fulfilling to him to the PAN-man, to the government". He discarded that the reform attempt against the autonomy of the institute, because this, he supported was lost in the process of 2006. "Ugalde sees it as an attempt to the autonomy, but he caused that is lost, is hurt seriously with the so improper paper, so wrong that played the counselors", then.
He underlined that, the one which the parties decide to draw the counselors “this isn’t an attempt; it is rather a form of recovering the lost autonomy". What is certain, he noted, is that the current council cannot organize the elections of 2009. Under that stability conditions, of credibility could be developed, he was asked the same it? "None", he answered by himself. (La jornada, politica, p. 10, September 03, 2007) By it previously exposed we consider ourselves that it is necessary to strengthen to the IFE so that accomplishes better its electoral function and that it is urgent that Luis Carlos Ugalde, the untoward actor of these corruptive things will be removed of his cargo or he resign by himself.
