It's about damn time. At last, the Chamber of deputies came to an agreement to appoint, with the required 2/3 majority, the last three IFE councilors ahead of 2012. None voted against; a handful of PT legislators abstained.
They are:
* Sergio García Ramírez, former attorney general, and judge at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
* María Marván Laborde, Ph.D from New School, now with the federal IFAI (institute for access to information and data protection)
* Lorenzo Córdova Vianello, Ph.D, law expert and researcher at UNAM.
This is excellent new, met with near unison approval from the various legislative leaders, as well as IFE president Leonardo Valdés. It's embarrassing, though, that it took the Chamber so long to get to this, and only under intense pressure from the federal electoral tribunal (TEPJF).
