Mexico's highest electoral court, TEPJF, revoked an earlier resolution by the country's electoral institute (IFE) where the Partido del Trabajo (PT) was fined a million pesos for using the following words in a TV ad, while images of Enrique Peña, Carlos Salinas, Felipe Calderón and Elba Esther Gordillo were displayed: "The mafia of power that took over Mexico, responsible for the current national tragedy."
While IFE had found the ad "denigrated" the said public figures, TEPFJ wisely rejected this as being the party's opinion, and thus not denigrating. As has often been noted here: This is hardly the first time TEPJF have rejected IFE resolutions castigating non-PRI parties.
Yet of note: The TEPJF also ordered IFE to relaunch the investigation of a complaint by PAN against Andrés Manuel López Obrador, where the party accused him of jumping the gun in terms of electioneering before the allowed time frame, after appearing in several TV and radio ads.
