María del Carmen Alanís Figueroa, former president of the Federal Electoral Tribunal, stated that the process for selecting National Electoral Institute (INE) advisors presents deficiencies in transparency, unclear rules, and possible biases, which she warned affects confidence in the country's democratic institutions. During an interview, Alanís explained that she decided to participate in the call launched by the Chamber of Deputies due to her four-decade career in electoral matters. "I have dedicated 40 years to electoral activity," she stated. The former magistrate also warned about the presence in advanced stages of profiles linked to political actors and the current president of the INE, Guadalupe Taddei. Without directly alleging irregularities, she pointed out that when procedures are not clear, "doubts arise, which is the least that can be put on the table." She criticized the lack of clarity in the evaluation criteria and the use of tools to detect artificial intelligence in essays without explaining the applied parameters. "The learning curve must be the smallest," she asserted, defending the need for capable advisors to guarantee the guiding principles of elections. Alanís warned that changes in the rules directly affect the principle of certainty and, consequently, the credibility of the electoral referee. She mentioned the presence of "some officials from the Interior Ministry" and "servers very close" to deputy Ricardo Monreal, which, under conditions of opacity in the process, fuels doubts about possible biases in the selection. She also questioned the scores obtained by some candidates, noting that profiles with less experience achieved scores close to the maximum. "If it was a very, very difficult exam, how did these people get almost 100?" she questioned. She also mentioned versions circulating among participants about a possible leak of the exam.
