Overview
- Morena’s coordinator Ricardo Monreal said his bloc will respect the Ley Orgánica so the PAN chairs the Mesa Directiva in the second year of the 66th Legislature.
- The full chamber was called to meet on Sunday, August 31, at San Lázaro to elect the president, three vice presidents and secretaries for the new board.
- Monreal rejected the prospect of an albazo and pledged to follow institutional procedures, a stance echoed by outgoing president Sergio Gutiérrez Luna.
- Reports noted a hardline Morena faction sought to block PAN, including a floated transfer of deputies to elevate PVEM, but party leaders ruled out such maneuvers.
- Article 17 sets the rotation under which Morena held year one, PAN is next and PVEM would take year three, with the chamber preparing to take up President Sheinbaum’s extortion initiative in the opening week.
