AMLO Criticizes Edmundo Jacobo’s Return to INE. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized the "celebration" that took place at the National Electoral Institute (INE) following the reinstatement of Edmundo Jacobo as the Executive Secretary of the electoral agency. López Obrador made it clear that if Jacobo Molina's return is considered by his opponents as the first defeat of the  Plan B of the Electoral Reform, then "it is an honor to lose like this."

During an extraordinary session of INE’s General Council on Monday, Jacobo Molina was reappointed as Executive Secretary after a federal administrative court granted him a definitive suspension in the amparo trial filed by the official after his removal.

The amparo was filed by Jacobo Molina against the Chamber of Deputies and other authorities for considering them violative of fundamental rights provided in various articles of the Constitution. The court granted the definitive suspension so "things remain in the state in which they were before the issuance and publication" of the electoral reform decree on the Official Gazette of the Federation on March 2.

AMLO Denies Political Persecution Against Former President Felipe Calderón.

However, he recalled a non-binding citizen consultation in which the majority voted for former presidents to face prosecution.
