Overview
- Chamber of Deputies president Kenia López Rabadán formally asked Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard to seat a plural commission of lawmakers in the “Cuarto de al lado” during the T-MEC review.
- López Rabadán argued that participation would enhance democratic legitimacy, enable direct legislative–executive dialogue, and ensure budget oversight of Mexico’s commitments.
- Morena floor leader Ricardo Monreal said he was not aware of the letter, noted that treaty matters fall to the Senate, and signaled coordinators will discuss forming a complementary or bicameral body next week.
- Morena’s Pedro Haces Barba had previously proposed a deputies’ follow-up group on the T-MEC negotiations, creating overlapping initiatives under review by House leaders.
- The Economy Ministry continues pre-review consultations, reporting about 13 sectoral and 13 state roundtables and 1,602 questionnaires, with reporting indicating the formal review is expected to begin in July 2026.
