(17:46) Roughly 100 people mannered their opinion this Monday against the Electoral Tribunal of the Federation's Judicial Power (TEPJF). protesters demand the annulment of the presidential elections in Mexico due to the 'fraud' which facilitated the virtual victory of the Insitutional Revolutionary Party's (PRI) candidate Enrique Peña Nieto.
"Enrique didn't win, the IFE gave him aid" is the protesters' motto, as they demand for the IFE authority to rectify their activities during the election process. Within the protesters there are members of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), an organisation that supports the leftist candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador. These activities have been organised along members of the National Front Against the Imposition who have installed a camping site next to the TEPJF premises.
Protesters, display banners against Peña Nieto and shout meaningful phrases. Roughly 20 local police officers keep guard at the TEPJF's premises. TEPJF must evaluate and resolve the challenges against the Mexican Elections before August 31st. Following this process, the TEPJF is required to validate the process on September 6th.
Andres Manuel López Obrador is asking for the complete invalidation of the election process due to his claims that the constitutional principles of legality, impartiality and equality in the electoral competition were not met. The candidate of the Mexican left, confirmed that he will act following current Mexican law. He advanced that he will reveal his Plan for the defence of dignity and democracy in Mexico in the following days.
