Protesters in Oaxaca demonstrated on January 27, 2026, between 6:45 PM and 7:45 PM UTC, asserting that Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE) no longer functions for democracy but defends regime interests. They cited examples of Morena's alleged manipulation of the 2024 election to secure 36 million votes without opposition challenge, according to a post by PNeoliberalMx on X. The demonstration highlighted ongoing criticisms of the INE's role following Morena's 2024 electoral victory. PNeoliberalMx stated that the Oaxaca protest exemplified how Morena manipulated the election, with the opposition and candidate failing to question the 36 million votes obtained. No official statements from the INE or Morena responded to the protest within the reporting window. The post from PNeoliberalMx, dated within the past hour, linked the event to broader claims of electoral irregularities in the 2024 presidential election.
