The electoral adviser Ciro Murayama criticized the austerity plan proposed by the federal government for the INE in order to guarantee the resources for the consultation of revocation of mandate, as he assured that “misunderstood austerity can turn into austericide.”
In a message through his social networks, the electoral councilor referred to the measure of reduce leasing expense, since he pointed out that what the INE rents are 800 locales in which are the modules so that citizens they process your voter credential.
“Where do you want them to be, on the sidewalk? They border on the ridiculous,” he wrote next to the video in which he explains the expense for this concept.
He explained that in the citizen service modules there are computer equipment, high-quality cameras, as well as devices to capture fingerprints of citizens, all for the process of the credential.
The government claims that the @INEMexico Reduce spending on leases.
And what does the INE rent? Well, the places where almost 800 modules of citizen attention are located to process the credential.
Where do you want them to be, on the sidewalk? They border on the ridiculous.#YoDefiendoAlINE

In this Thursday’s conference, the Secretariats of Public Function and Finance presented an analysis by which, if applied, would lead the INE to have a savings of 2 thousand 972 million pesos with measures such as implementing a salary tabulator, reduce operating expenses and make use of the resources it has in two trusts.
They detailed that only for wages and salaries the savings would be 718.8 mdp, for operating expenses the amount would be 384.5 million pesos and the resources of the trusts would be 868.7 mdp.
The Secretary of the Interior, Adam Augusto López, said that this Thursday they would send the austerity plan to the INE, in a “respectful manner”, and announced that in the analysis made by the Public Function and the Treasury it is determined that there is no margin in the budget to grant additional resources, so it would discard the request of the electoral body.
“What this working group has been analyzing is that there is no margin in the budget that allows to allocate additional amounts to a budget expansion of an autonomous body,” he said at the conference.
