Overview
- Morena’s leadership says President Claudia Sheinbaum will present the electoral initiative within weeks, targeting reduced costs and expanded participatory mechanisms.
- PAN and PRI dub the proposal the “Ley Maduro,” alleging it legalizes money from organized crime and centralizes control over elections at the expense of an autonomous INE.
- The Labor Party (PT) announced an agreement with the government to jointly craft the text after a meeting with Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez, signaling coalition backing in the Chamber of Deputies.
- Reporting indicates the Chamber is set in March to appoint three new INE counselors, a turnover that could hand Morena and allies a working majority even if the legal overhaul stalls.
- Morena defends changes such as cutting public party financing, revising how plurinominal lists are set, establishing migrant representation, and strengthening consultations and recall without affecting INE operations.
