Overview

• Ricardo Monreal, who leads the lower house’s coordination board for Morena, said the 2026 budgets for the INE, the TEPJF and the federal judiciary will be trimmed.
• He argued that the requests do not match next year’s activity, noting there are no federal elections and a lighter docket for the electoral tribunal.
• INE proposed 22 billion pesos for 2026 after spending 27 billion this year, but Monreal forecast a further reduction below the institute’s own request.
• He said the judiciary’s additional ask of about 15 billion pesos came from the prior Supreme Court administration and predicted that increase will be cut, keeping funding near current levels.
• He stressed the remarks are preliminary and that the Commissions on Budget and on Finance will set the approved amounts within the 2026 economic package.
