“Yes we have detected, for example, some drug dealers who are wanting to access. They should not participate, they do not meet the constitutional demand for probity, it seems to me that there are some cases that should,” he added.
“It would be unfortunate for a accredited drug deer or a judge who has released Narcos, accredited, with systematic behavior …”, he said.
Regarding the initiative known as “8 of 8”, which seeks to exclude candidates with sentences for gender violence, the senator reminded the INE that they must be firm and definitive resolutions.
He also asked to be careful with situations derived from divorce agreements, where compliance with pensions or agreements should not be interpreted as disabled, if there is no clear conviction.

A express question about whether they will challenge the agreement, Noroña replied that they will not. But, he insisted that the review had to be done before.
“I think the record should be withdrawn to those who do not comply. They should not wait for the election to have been,” he said.
Fernández Noroña stressed that it is not a risk for the electoral process, but an act of responsibility to prevent profiles with questionable history, such as judges or defenders linked to organized crime, manage to access charges.
He said that, although most of the observed cases belong to Judicial Branchthere are also cases in the Legislative Power.
Therefore, he asked to resolve these accusations before the day of the election.

The president of the INE, Guadalupe Taddeihe pointed out that the institute did not correspond to the institute Review of the candidaciesand where appropriate it will be the Electoral Tribunal that determines once the results are final.
“The reform perfectly establishes that all those requirements that must be met include the probity of people. That is a first review that was already done in the Senate through the three evaluation committees that could give us the lists of candidacies to the National Electoral Institute,” he said.
He explained that once the results are had, the INE must be part of the Senate of the Republic and the Electoral Court, in its Superior Chamber of the Judicial Power of the Federation, so that they are those who resolve on whether the eligibility requirements are met.
He pointed out that the INE will issue an agreement on the issue in the next session of the General Council.
Therefore, he said that “it is not of good wishes” or “what one prefers”, but of application of the norm.
“I understand that the president of the Senate will agree, because it is what is in the reform,” he said Taddei.
