The Electoral Tribunal has imposed another significant fine on Citizens Movement, amounting to almost one million pesos, due to the party's consistent failures in updating key documentation that guarantees their members protection from political gender violence and equal representation in candidacies and campaigns. This ruling arises from a failure to comply with legal obligations that have existed for five years, which mandate political parties to implement measures ensuring women's safety and participation on an equal footing within their ranks.

Despite having had ample time to remedy these issues and the imposition of earlier fines by the National Electoral Institute (INE) for similar infractions, Citizens Movement has not made the necessary changes as required by the electoral authority. The Tribunal's confirmation of the latest fine, specifically 993,415.50 pesos, reflects the ongoing non-compliance that has persisted, particularly after the deadlines for compliance expired in 2023. This situation highlights the broader problem of adherence to equality and anti-violence measures within Mexican political parties.

The implications of this ruling extend beyond just a financial hit; it underscores the systemic challenges faced by female politicians in Mexico. Continued neglect of these obligations not only affects the party’s reputation but also has a wider impact on the implementation of gender parity and the prevention of political violence against women in the political landscape. The ruling serves as a critical reminder for all political organizations in Mexico to prioritize the rights and safety of women members in their structures and electoral processes.
