Overview
- Morena filed constitutional and legal changes to prohibit the ASF auditor’s re‑election, restore the governing council, ban nepotistic ties, increase transparency and shift the fiscalization calendar.
- The proposal advances deadlines by moving the cuenta pública to March 31, consolidating one individual report in August, issuing the general review in January and requiring the annual audit program to be published by December 30.
- David Colmenares could still seek a new eight‑year term under the draft limits, and his current mandate ends on March 14, 2026.
- Congress’s oversight unit documented 4,698 frozen audit findings from 2010–2020 with no complaints for an estimated 329,125.3 million pesos, and a 2021 rule concentrating complaint filings with one official produced acknowledged backlogs.
- The ASF declined to state a position on the bill, while Colmenares, in a new interview, defended a prevention‑focused, tech‑driven approach, said observations have fallen and cited coordination with prosecutors in serious cases such as Segalmex.
