Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies’ Constitutional Points Committee called a Nov. 10 session to discuss and potentially vote on the draft, with some reports indicating it could reach the floor the following day.
- The proposal amends Article 35 so popular consultations occur on the first Sunday of June and the revocation of mandate is held the same day as the federal midterm elections.
- The draft sets a request window for the 2027 revocation between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2026, aligning the timeline with the midterm electoral calendar.
- PRI leader Rubén Moreira denounced the plan as an electoral ploy that would place President Claudia Sheinbaum on the 2027 ballot and let her influence campaigns.
- Morena’s Ricardo Monreal defended the initiative as legal and democratic, noting the committee’s officialist majority but stressing that full legislative approvals are still required for any constitutional change.
