Mexico’s Anti-Corruption Overhaul Advances as SNA Chief Warns of Operational Risk

Deputies opened expert hearings to shape a six-year redesign that would turn anti-corruption policy into a state policy.

Overview

  • At the SNA’s extraordinary session, officials called for real interagency coordination, effective sanctions, and verifiable results, as Vania Pérez cautioned that expiring terms and pending appointments could hinder operations this year.
  • Pérez said her tenure ends next week and the Citizen Participation Committee will drop to two members, preventing the executive coordination from functioning.
  • Pérez formally presented a 15-line blueprint aimed at making anti-corruption work a transversal policy of the state.
  • The plan sets clear targets with external evaluations, converts citizen-committee roles to full-time with transparent selection, strengthens the National Digital Platform, and adds sanctions, whistleblower protections, and asset recovery tools.
  • The Chamber of Deputies launched expert consultations led with Morena’s Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar for a six-year redesign, as an OECD specialist cited corruption costs ranging from 2% to as high as 5–10% of GDP and links to weaker tax collection.
