Beatriz Mojica INE contract investigation, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico City): A thorough investigation into alleged irregularities in contracting carried out over 27 years by the country’s electoral bodies was demanded on November 6 in Mexico City. Beatriz Mojica Morga, coordinator in Guerrero of the Committees in Defense of the Transformation and National Sovereignty, backed the position of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and a Morena statement calling for transparency in the acquisitions of the National Electoral Institute (INE).
The main allegation points to the alleged award of contracts worth more than 2,000 million pesos to companies linked to a single corporate group. The agreements were granted by local electoral authorities during the nine years in which Lorenzo Córdova led the national electoral body.
“President Sheinbaum has our support. We also agree with the Morena statement: these 27 years of alleged electoral business must be investigated thoroughly.
The people deserve to know who authorized the contracts, who supervised them, and who benefited from public resources,” Mojica Morga said.
Mojica Morga demanded direct explanations from former councilors Lorenzo Córdova and Ciro Murayama, and from former executive secretary Edmundo Jacobo, to clarify the actions taken during their tenures to prevent the concentration of public contracts. She said the review should extend to current periods in order to identify operational failures without cover-ups.
The process is related to alleged links between private suppliers and institute personnel, as well as a complaint filed with the Attorney General’s Office (Fiscalía General de la República) over alleged inconsistencies in the tender for issuing voter credentials. “Autonomy is not impunity.
Defending electoral institutions requires that they be accountable. Investigating possible acts of corruption strengthens democracy and protects the work of thousands of honest citizens and workers who make elections possible,” the Guerrero coordinator stated.
As an alternative to contracting private companies, Mojica Morga endorsed the federal executive’s proposal to channel the production of electoral supplies through Talleres Gráficos de México. The measure aims to set prices without overcharges and establish technical certainty in institutional logistics for the 2027 electoral process.
