Chamber of Deputies Postpones Debate on Mandate Revocation Plan

Monreal says the pause seeks transparency following opposition claims of a rushed vote.

Overview

  • The discussion scheduled for 6 p.m. on November 10 did not take place after Morena leader Ricardo Monreal urged a short delay.
  • Monreal will ask Constitutional Points Committee chair Leonel Godoy to wait several days to widen debate among deputies.
  • Opposition coordinators characterized the planned vote as an “albazo,” prompting calls for more time to review the proposal.
  • The draft would advance the presidential revocation consultation to 2027 to coincide with elections for the Chamber of Deputies and 17 governorships.
  • Backers, including sponsor Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, argue the change would boost turnout, save resources, and reduce voter fatigue, as Monreal consults PAN, PRI, PT, PVEM and plans talks with Movimiento Ciudadano.
