Mexico City. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador once again celebrated that the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation has decided not to ban his most recent book “Thank you!”
As he did yesterday on social networks after the organization’s decision, the president said: “Freedom triumphed, censorship lost.”
He opened the morning referring to the decision: “Yesterday the Electoral Court ruled that the book—which he showed in his right hand—is not prohibited. He won freedom, he lost censorship. That’s what I can tell you.”
On February 27, the standard-bearer of the opposition coalition, Xóchitl Gálvez, presented a complaint to the National Electoral Institute (INE) about the president’s book, considering that by publishing it 20 days before the campaign, López Obrador “anticipated” because in the work he discredits her as a candidate and “favors” his party’s candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum.
The Technical Litigation Unit of the INE dismissed that complaint, but the magistrate of the electoral court, Reyes Rodríguez Mondragón, took it up again and presented a project in which he proposed revoking that decision to confirm whether or not in the book there are expressions that violate the law. electoral.
However, yesterday, the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Court, by a majority of three votes to two, rejected the magistrate’s project under the argument that analyzing the book would incur censorship.
The head of the Executive also reported that specialists will attend his conference at the National Palace tomorrow to give details of the solar eclipse—which will be fully visible in Mazatlán, Sinaloa—next Monday.
