Nueva lectura del ejercicio del derecho a la libre autodeterminación indígena en México. Elecciones municipales 2019 en Oxchuc, Chiapas

Abstract

As a result of different political conflicts raised in the last twenty years in that region of Chiapas that motivated civil society to promote various trials before the Electoral Court of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF) in order to obtain by sentence the recognition of the right to self-determination in political matters established by article 2 of the political constitution of the United Mexican States and thus choose, through their own systems, their municipal authorities. This document describes the events that occurred, and establishes the legal and political arguments that were used to determine that the municipality of Oxchuc could adhere to the uses and customs for the election of authorities.
