Mexican electoral system changes rules in congress, to take away MORENA party representation before upcoming June elections

In a blatantly anti-democratic act, Mexico’s National Electoral Institute (INE) is changing the rules of the upcoming June election to prevent President AMLO’s left-wing Morena party from winning “over-representation.”

The electoral body admitted this openly: It doesn’t want too many elected representatives from AMLO’s party, because even if they win those seats fairly in the election, it would result in “over-representation.”

It is pretty incredible how blatantly Mexico’s right-wing political establishment and its oligarchic ruling class are trying to rig the vote.

AMLO is the first independent president of Mexico in decades, whereas his predecessors were obedient neoliberal US puppets.

Ironically, the president of the INE, Lorenzo Cordova, has been self-appointing himself president for more than a decade.

Ésto es ir en contra de la voluntad del pueblo, el pueblo quita y el pueblo pone y es un hecho que la inmensa mayoría de los mexicanos queremos fuera del INE a éste corrupto. pic.twitter.com/tk3EDrftNk

For months, thousands of Mexicans nationwide have march in protests to the corruption of the leaders running the INE. Cordova has been involved in corruption scandals inside the INE, and he even caught several times making racists comments against Mexican indigenous.

Por qué ningún medio chayotero como @El_Universal_Mx @elsolde_mexico @proceso @tvaztecainter @Televisa @Milenio y varios más, sacan o reportan la marcha para sacar a Lorenzo Córdova del INE?
Por qué será?🤔 pic.twitter.com/TdVkNNOKqp

Mexicans are so feed up with the situation that even opened a CHANGE petition online, calling to remove Lorenzo Cordova from the INE.
