Overview
- Proposals filed by Morena and allies would cut roughly 15,805 million pesos from the judiciary, 1,000 million from the INE, 933 million from the FGR and 50 million from the CNDH.
- The redirected funds would boost education by about 10,842 million pesos—including 4,371 million for the University of Guadalajara—plus 2,500 million for science, 1,985 million for culture, 1,500 million for environment, 641 million for agriculture and 319 million for labor programs.
- The Chamber of Deputies opened the discussion in particular on Wednesday morning, facing more than 1,700 reservations, though the majority bloc expects only its 12 packages to advance.
- Majority leaders frame the cuts as austerity aimed at trimming administrative excesses in autonomous bodies, while opposition deputies warn of impacts on judicial independence, electoral operations and law enforcement.
- Debate grew heated on the floor over security and university funding, and by late Wednesday the reallocation was still pending plenary votes expected during the overnight session.
