Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el conflicto entre los poderes Ejecutivo y Legislativo y el Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE) durante el sexenio del presidente López Obrador, principalmente en torno a la autonomía de dicho instituto. El análisis se inscribe en la perspectiva de los estudios sobre el fenómeno de la erosión democrática. En palabras de Nancy Bermeo, “cómo las acciones del Estado debilitan o eliminan las instituciones políticas en las cuales se sustenta un régimen democrático”. Se reconstruyen las etapas del conflicto a partir de las estrategias elaboradas por las distintas partes, así como la movilización de recursos a su disposición, sean éstas de orden administrativo, jurídico, legislativo, político o discursivo.

Alternate abstract:

This article examines the institutional conflict between the Executive and Legislative branches and Mexico’s National Electoral Institute (INE, in Spanish) during the period of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration, with a particular focus on the autonomy of the electoral authority. The analysis is framed within the perspective of democratic erosion, defined by Nancy Bermeo as the “state-led debilitation or elimination of the political institutions sustaining an existing democracy.” By tracing the evolution of this conflict at its different stages, the article highlights the strategies employed by the involved actors and the mobilization of resources at their disposal, whether administrative, legal, legislative, political, or discursive.
