Overview

• PAN is expected to formally propose Kenia López Rabadán to preside over the Chamber of Deputies during its Saturday plenary in Jalisco.
• Ricardo Monreal said the law will be respected and voiced a positive view of López Rabadán, while noting the Morena caucus will discuss the matter at its Aug. 30 meeting.
• Deputies will elect the new Mesa Directiva on Aug. 31, with the new session opening Monday to receive the government report and take up a constitutional change on extortion procedures.
• Morena scheduled its Aug. 30 plenary in San Lázaro and invited cabinet officials, and Monreal said the bloc’s priorities will follow President Claudia Sheinbaum’s proposals.
• Media reports about shifting deputies to the Green Party to retain the post were noted earlier, but Morena figures have publicly stated that rotation rules will be observed.
