Quintana Roo Tribunal Upholds Cautions Against Rafael Marín, Clears Gino Segura Banners

Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Electoral Tribunal (Teqroo) has upheld precautionary measures against Rafael Marín Mollinedo, siding with the state electoral institute’s finding that the Morena aspirant’s public messaging could undermine fairness in the 2027 gubernatorial race.

In resolving Electoral Trial 37, brought by Marín Mollinedo, the tribunal’s full bench voted to keep restrictions on several publications. The ruling did not address the argument that the statements at issue were not made directly by the aspirant but by the administrator of a Facebook page.

Tribunal Rejects Complaint Over ‘Gino’ Banners

In the same session, the tribunal declined to impose precautionary measures over painted walls bearing the word “Gino” and the image of a raised fist, linked to Senator Eugenio Segura Vázquez. The magistrates concluded there was insufficient evidence of anticipated precampaign activity or misuse of public resources.

Cautions Confirmed Against Othón P. Blanco Councilman

The tribunal also took up Electoral Trial 56, ratifying precautionary measures against Benjamín Trinidad Vaca González, a councilman in Othón P. Blanco, over statements he made during a Cabildo session that were broadcast on institutional channels and could amount to personalized promotion.

Morena Internal Rulings Revised, Appeals Dismissed

Teqroo resolved 13 appeals during the session. It revoked and modified rulings issued by Morena’s National Commission for Honesty and Justice (Trials 46, 47, 49, 50 and 52), clarifying that the reported incidents involved different dates and contexts.

The full bench dismissed Electoral Trials 57, 58 and 59, filed by Morena founding member Erick Sánchez Córdova, after finding they were submitted outside the legal deadlines.
