Abstract

The current commentary briefly displays the unconstitutional action promoted by the Revolutionary Institutional Party against several articles of The Federal District Electoral Code published in December 20th of 2010. The resolution emitted by our Supreme Court of Justice approaches four fundamental themes in election law which are freedom of association for political purposes, freedom of speech granted to political parties and to pre-candidates, as well as the autonomy and functioning of The Federal District Electoral Institute and the needed coordination between The Federal Electoral Institute and the local electoral institute in order to accomplish their purpose as guardians of our democracy.
