| Sumario: | This research study outlines the constitutional debate of the political desertion of the party’s militancy on the presidential system in Mexico. The first part describes the concept in which lies the object of the political desertion of party’s militancy problem, to make a distinction between it from Parliamentary system, which finds its explanation in the evolution of historical stages of the political shifting activity that has been taking place in Mexico since 1929 to this date. In the second part, I systematize several argument issues of constitutional matters that can be discussed around the problem, on the basis of specific cases handled in the SCJN and TEPJF that have been resolved in recent years. The constitutional debate remains open: there are good reasons to build, from a conception of the party’s mandate, to establish reasonable limits to disloyal political activity within the internal life of the parties in order to safeguard the constitutional principles on electoral matters, such as legality, transparence and equity. |
