TEPJF orders Mexico State electoral institute to

Mexico's highest electoral court, TEPJF, unanimously ordered the Mexico State electoral institute (IEEM) to admit a complaint made by the PAN and PRD against various functionaries of the state, including Governor Enrique Peña Nieto, as well as local state legislators and mayors, for using state resources for personal political advertisements. The IEEM had earlier refused to accept the complaint, arguing it had no jurisdiction, a decision backed by the local electoral court, yet TEPJF clearly saw it otherwise. 

Yesterday, a day later, the head of the IEEM, Jesús Castillo Sandoval, declared that the electoral institute does not follow orders from Peña Nieto's PRI government. Let's hope so.
