The National Electoral Institute (INE) ordered Morena and 30 of its militants — officials, legislators, presidential candidates, among others — to refrain from proselytizing acts that could be considered early propaganda.
The order issued by the Complaints and Denunciations Commission of the autonomous body was given following a complaint from the PRD, which ruled against the rally that Morena held on Sunday, June 26 in Coahuila. In that meeting, called “Unity and Mobilization,” Morena brought together leaders and militants.
After analyzing the case, the commission unanimously determined that Morena and its members made anticipated campaign acts, so from now on they must refrain from carrying them out until the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 electoral processes begin.
“(The commission) considered appropriate the issuance of precautionary measures, both for the propaganda disseminated on social networks and in the aspect of preventive protection, considering that there is a risk that this type of acts, presumably illicit as they show a possible strategy of advanced electoral proselytism, will be repeated in the immediate future,” the INE reported this afternoon in a statement.
The institute recalled that days ago Morena held another similar act in Toluca, State of Mexico. Both that entity and Coahuila in 2023 will have elections to renew their governorship. Both are governed by the PRI.
“Morena and its national leader, Mario Delgado Carrillo, were ordered to refrain from organizing, convening and carrying out proselytizing events equal to or similar to those that took place on June 12 and 26, 2022 in the State of Mexico and Coahuila, respectively, until the 2022-2023 and federal 2023-2024 local electoral processes formally begin,” indicated the INE.

Morena will contest
After the ORDER of the INE, the leadership of Mario Delgado announced that it will challenge a decision that it considers “ridiculous” and out of proportion.
In @PartidoMorenaMx we have the freedom to hold political events and informative assemblies as we have always done. Whether or not any of the participants could aspire to any position in the future, it is absurd that the @INEMexico intends to limit their participation from now on.
