Overview
- Formal discussions began in the Chamber of Deputies to strengthen the National Anti-Corruption System after leaders said the current setup fails to curb impunity in public spending.
- Morena’s Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar outlined a three‑pillar push: a radical redesign of the Federal Audit Office (ASF), a strengthened Secretariat of Anti‑Corruption and Good Government, and elimination of constitutional fuero for public officials.
- The auditing overhaul targets a March change of the Auditor General, bans re‑election for the post, shortens review timelines, emphasizes preventive controls and seeks faster sanctions for budget irregularities.
- SNA Citizen Committee president Vania Pérez Morales proposed 15 lines to turn the system into an intelligence tool, including shifting the National Digital Platform to the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency and requiring CURP/RFC identifiers to track beneficiaries and curb shell companies.
- Her plan also calls for binding recommendations with penalties for noncompliance, Senate‑appointed full‑time members for the Citizen Participation Committee, inclusion of the Finance Ministry and Financial Intelligence Unit on the Coordinating Committee, and builds on roughly 70 legislative initiatives as President Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to send further proposals.
