translated from Spanish: Parties did not allocate $12 million pesos to women’s campaigns

In the last electoral process, political parties at the local level failed to allocate 12 million 981 thousand 125 pesos to women’s candidacies, reported the National Electoral Institute (INE).
In total, 91 candidates for local councils and municipal presidencies contended in conditions of inequality by assigning them a percentage lower than that established.
According to the INE, as mandated by the guidelines for national political parties and, where appropriate, local political parties, to prevent, attend, punish, repair and eradicate political violence against women based on gender, all parties must allocate 40% of public financing to their candidates for campaign activities.

However, this did not happen in the 2021 elections: 22 candidates who ran for local deputies and 69 candidates for municipal presidencies did not have the necessary budget for their campaigns to take place under conditions of equality.
The entity with the highest number of cases of parties that failed to allocate 40% of campaign financing to women was Morelos, with 14 candidacies affected, followed by San Luis Potosí and Sonora, with seven each, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Nayarit, Tlaxcala and Veracruz affected five women.
The State of Mexico, Michoacán, Querétaro, Tabasco and Zacatecas affected three; Aguascalientes, Baja California, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Jalisco, Puebla, Sinaloa and Yucatan to two; Coahuila, Colima, Durango, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo and Tamaulipas to a woman.

The INE detailed in a statement that Movimiento Ciudadano was the most ignorant party, with three million 275 thousand 807.68 pesos that did not allocate to seven women candidates, followed by the coalition Together We Will Make History (Morena, New Alliance and Labor Party) in Aguascalientes, which stopped allocating to a candidate 1 million 285 thousand 802.66 pesos.
While the PES affected nine candidates with 822 thousand 268.48 pesos that it did not deliver.
Here is the list:

The National Electoral Institute endorses the call to political parties to comply with actions that favor equality between men and women when running for a popularly elected office.
