Overview
- The Commission on Constitutional Points did not hold the 6 p.m. Nov. 10 session and no new date has been set.
- Morena’s initiative, presented by Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, would amend Article 35 to move the presidential revocation vote to 2027 to coincide with midterm elections.
- Proponents say the change would boost participation, reduce costs and electoral fatigue, and help reach the 40% turnout needed for a binding result.
- Opposition leaders labeled the original timing an “albazo” and argued the draft was circulated without the five days’ notice required by internal rules.
- Ricardo Monreal framed the pause as a step to seek consensus and consider open hearings under Commission chair Leonel Godoy, stressing the proposal is not being shelved.
