Overview
- The Senate approved two decrees covering 201 promotions in the Army, Air Force and National Guard and 113 in the Navy, all proposed by President Claudia Sheinbaum.
- The Navy decree passed 85–0 with 3 abstentions, and the Army/Air Force/Guard decree passed 97–0 with 4 abstentions, according to the official record.
- The promotions are set to take legal effect on November 20 under military law.
- The lists include 18 women—12 in Sedena and the National Guard and 8 in the Navy—highlighted by committee leaders as progress on inclusion.
- Segob sent the files the day before the vote, drawing a ‘fast track’ complaint from MC’s Luis Donaldo Colosio, who cited last year’s huachicol fiscal arrest of Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna, while committee chairs defended the process as merit-based and built on yearlong reviews.
