La Mata proposed, and it was approved, to declare proceeding with the declaration requested by the INE and to determine that it is inevitable to suspend the electoral processes, “especially with regard to the extraordinary electoral process of the PJF” .

It is not a question of fact, the project was approved by the majority of votes, there are no measures or resolutions of the amparo judges nor their competence to realize their opportunities, because their resolutions do not will not be modified, confirmed or revoked, otherwise it is a decision relating to the request for a declarative action at this time, based on the norm, it is possible that the INE suspends its activities for those which are constitutionally obligated.
