Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies’ Constitutional Points Committee voted 18–6 to hold four consultations, with Morena, PT and PVEM in favor and PAN, PRI and PRD opposed.
- The forums will examine a Morena initiative, introduced by Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, to move the presidential recall to coincide with the 2027 federal midterm elections.
- Each session will last four hours split into two blocks with up to four specialists per block, with 10-minute presentations, structured Q&A by each caucus, and live broadcasts on the Congress channel.
- No dates were set for the forums, which opponents called a staged exercise; the Junta de Coordinación Política is expected to determine the schedule as critics press for broader inclusion across all states.
- PT deputy Lilia Aguilar secured an expansion from two to four forums, while committee chair Leonel Godoy defended proportional participant selection and said electoral counselors and magistrates would be invited.
