The national president of the PRI and senator, Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, proposed creating a special commission to investigate the 2018 and 2024 presidential elections, citing suspicions that, he asserted, exist regarding possible irregularities in the vote count, the use of digital algorithms to alter results, and the conduct of electoral authorities. The PRI leader argued that if there is an intention to investigate the 2006 electoral process, as has been proposed from Morena, the 2018 and 2024 elections must also be reviewed, particularly the latter, in which technological mechanisms may have been used to alter the counting of votes and favor the party in government. "We must speak up, a commission should be created to investigate the electoral fraud of '18 and '24, that would be worth analyzing," he proposed. In statements to the media in the Senate, Moreno argued that the 2018 and 2024 elections are processes that, unlike the 2006 one, could still be subject to review, so he considered that the discussion about the country's electoral history should include the most recent elections. He questioned the attempt to focus attention on the 2006 presidential election, noting that it was a resolution reviewed by the electoral tribunals and that, from his perspective, possible crimes related to that process would already have prescribed. He insisted that the conditions under which the presidential elections in which Morena was declared the winner took place must be clarified, as well as the functioning of the computer systems used by the National Electoral Institute (INE). He stated that Morena obtained around 54 percent of the votes, while the opposition reached 46 percent; however, the party in power ended up with approximately 75 percent of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies. For the PRI leader, that difference warrants reviewing how the votes were distributed and how the electoral results were processed, in addition to investigating the functioning of the technological tools used by the electoral body. He also questioned the way in which the results of the 2024 presidential election were announced and cast doubt on whether all the tally sheets that should have supported the announced figures were publicly presented. The PRI leader directly pointed to Guadalupe Taddei, who headed the INE during that electoral process, and accused her of having favored Morena through decisions related to the presentation and counting of the results. "With digital algorithms, and with a cynical and corrupt person like Guadalupe Taddei at the head of the INE, we have not the slightest doubt that perhaps there were tricks, kickbacks, and electoral fraud," he declared.
