[4] Although there were citizen efforts in search of the plebiscite, this was the result of the petition made by López Obrador in September 2020, approved by the Congress of the Union and whose subject matter was declared constitutional by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), which, however, modified the original question.

Erroneously promoted or criticized as a consultation to "prosecute former presidents", it did not involve the Attorney General's Office (FGR), the judiciary, or specific cases, nor did it point out particular individuals.

On the same night of the referendum, a quick count was released, which reported a participation interval of between 7.07% and 7.74%, meaning that the results of the exercise, with a large majority in favor of the "Yes" vote, would not be binding since they did not reach the 40% required by law.

The organization argued that the referendum failed because it lacked "real commitment from the executive," evidenced by its failure to propose actions that would "guarantee the rights to truth and justice for the thousands of victims."

In his third government report, one month after the exercise, López Obrador only considered the consultation and the actions taken for its realization as a "historic milestone in the democratic consolidation of our country."
