Overview

• Ricardo Monreal said Morena will push reductions for the INE, the TEPJF and the federal judiciary in the 2026 budget.
• He cited a lighter 2026 calendar with no federal elections as the reason to lower allocations for electoral bodies.
• INE spent about 27,000 million pesos in 2025 and proposed roughly 22,000 million for 2026, but Monreal signaled a further cut.
• The judiciary received 70,983 million pesos in 2025 and requested nearly 15,000 million more for 2026, a figure Monreal said should be trimmed, attributing the ask to the previous Supreme Court leadership.
• For the TEPJF, which had 3,749 million pesos in 2025 and sought an extra 260 million, Monreal argued the increase lacks justification and forecast a lower allocation, with final numbers to be set by the Presupuesto and Hacienda commissions together with SHCP and the Chamber of Deputies.
