Mexico City, Mexico, Sep 4, 2012 \/ 06:23 pm (CNA<\/a>).- The Bishops of Mexico have urged the country\u2019s political parties to accept a court decision upholding the results of the July 1 presidential election, won by the candidate Enrique Pena Nieto.<\/p>\n

\tIn a statement issued on August 30 and signed by the secretary general of the Mexican Bishops\u2019 Conference, Auxiliary Bishop Victor Rene Rodriguez Gomez of Texcoco, the prelates called on all parties to accept the unanimous ruling by the seven justices of the Electoral Court.<\/p>\n

\tIn their ruling, the justices rejected the arguments made by a coalition of political parties that included the Democratic Revolutionary Party, the Worker\u2019s Party and the Citizens\u2019 Movement, which supported presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tThey had called for the election to be nullified, alleging voting irregularities and fraud.\u00a0 The court found no basis for their allegations.<\/p>\n

\tAlejandro Encinas of the Democratic Revolutionary Party \u2014 the same party responsible for the legalization of abortion and homosexual unions in Mexico City \u2014 said the coalition would appeal to international organizations to contest the ruling.<\/p>\n

\tIn their statement, the bishops recognized the work of the justices and said, \u201cThere is no doubt they addressed each and every one of the complaints made by individuals and institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tTherefore, they urged \u201call political parties to not only adhere to the decision by the electoral court, issued by the highest authority in electoral matters in the country, but also to ensure that they are focusing on the current situation Mexico is facing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cMay Holy Mary of Guadalupe accompany us on this new journey of challenges and decisions that our nation is now facing in political and social matters.\u00a0 Pray for us and for Mexico,\u201d the bishops said.<\/p>\n
