Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies’ Constitutional Points Committee suspended its meeting until further notice at the request of Jucopo chief Ricardo Monreal, who sought extra time for debate.
- The draft, authored by Morena’s Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, would amend Article 35 to hold the presidential revocation referendum on June 1, 2027, alongside the midterm elections, placing President Claudia Sheinbaum’s mandate question on that ballot.
- Opposition coordinators from PAN, PRI and MC labeled the push an “albazo” and asked for more time to review the proposal before any vote.
- Monreal said the initiative is not being frozen and indicated the committee could convene public hearings or other deliberations before rescheduling.
- Supporters argue alignment would boost turnout and cut costs, while critics warn it could advantage the ruling party and upend the current calendar that places a standalone recall in 2028.
