A march has been scheduled to take place Sunday morning against an elections reform proposed by Mexico’s President
Mexicali voters will join a nationwide march and protest scheduled to take place Sunday.
Locally, the march will begin at 10 a.m. in the National Electoral Institute headquarters located in the Colonia Nueva area by Madero Avenue.
The march was called by an organization named “Unidos,” according to a flyer shared in social media.
On Wednesday, leaders with several political parties announced joining the demonstration.
The protest seeks to show President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s party the rejection to enact new elections law in Mexico for fears of disappearance of the decades-old institute.
Pres. López Obrador and elected officials with the National Regeneration Movement Party have stood behind an election reform that would decrease election costs while making sure no fraud is committed.
Since the institute was created the only allegations of fraud came after the 2006.
Back then López Obrador lost to Felipe Calderón of the conservative National Action Party.
Activists, journalists and political analysts consider the proposed bill as a return to the era when the Institutional Revolutionary Party committed fraud by managing a centralized electoral system.
