PRI files complaints over pre‑election billboards and councilor scholarship in Mexico
The Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in Chihuahua submitted a sanction request to the Instituto Estatal Electoral (IEE) demanding an investigation of a pre‑election billboard campaign that allegedly promoted PAN candidates. The request seeks a review of the contracts, financing and possible involvement of the Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE), the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) and the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF). Submission was delayed because the IEE was on vacation.
Separately, the PRI filed a complaint with the INE against Paola Ximena Beltrán Prado, a counselor of the Instituto Estatal Electoral of Baja California, accusing her of receiving a public scholarship and traveling to Spain without the required authorization. The party asks the INE to determine responsibility, consider her removal, and require all IEEBC counselors to disclose any knowledge of the scholarship, citing a precedent where a similar official was dismissed.
PRI state leader Alex Domínguez is also preparing a denunciation against PAN relatives for the alleged billboard campaign, asking the IEE to investigate the advertising, its financing and possible links to the INE, SAT and UIF, amid speculation about future PAN‑PRI coalition talks.
