MOREA v. Party of Institutional Revolutionary (SUP 2015 REP 544 499367)

Judgment

Question Presented: Whether the dissemination of campaign materials on twitter accounts of candidate and alternate candidates violate the electoral silence laws?

Alleged Acts: Several candidates and alternate candidates, including Raul Osorio Alonzo and Arto Escobar y Vega, dissemination campaign information on their Twitter accounts in an official capacity. In particular, Raul Osorio Alonzo’s posts included links to political parties, but Arto Escobar y Vega’s posts did not include links of calls to vote.

Summary: The court stated that all candidates and alternate candidates have the duty to adjust their social media posts to the letter of the Constitution. The parties argued that they themselves sought to disengage in the election campaign during the mandated silence period, but the court stated that the political party was also tasked with monitoring its members. The court found that the political party did not sufficient inhibit of denounce the behavior and thus could not be exempt from liability. However, actions of members may be exempt from political party liability instances where the political party has sufficiently discouraged the actions taken because this will not necessarily impact the integrity of the election results.

Conclusion: The court ultimately revoked the prior judgment and permitted the responsible authority to use a new one against the Green Ecologist Party for its failure to monitor candidates making political statements during the electoral silence period.
