Overview

  • On July 12, Hugo Patlán Matehuala resigned as head of the UTCE at the INE, marking the third senior departure within a week.
  • Taddei invoked her judicial reform 'superfacultades' to install or remove INE executives without Consejo General approval.
  • Patlán’s exit followed scrutiny of his prior affiliations with the PRI highlighted in a recent presidential press conference.
  • The UTCE has faced a high workload handling election impugnations and routine legal matters, intensifying pressure on its leadership.
  • Additional high-level changes and a comprehensive voluntary retirement plan are expected as part of Taddei's ongoing reorganization.
