MEXICO: Electoral process probed in five states
With gubernatorial, state legislative and local elections in 14 of Mexico’s states less than two weeks away, the specialised electoral crimes unit (Fepade) at the federal attorney general’s office (PGR) has announced the launch of a major investigation into complaints about alleged electoral crimes. Fepade will investigate the electoral process in five of the 12 states holding gubernatorial elections. This evidences just how much of a concern the recurrent allegations about the violation of electoral law in the run-up to the elections have become, as well as the mounting pressure that the federal authorities are under to combat these.
