Overview

• On July 11, Movimiento Ciudadano deputy Pablo Vázquez Ahued attempted to deliver a letter to Andrés Manuel López Obrador at his ranch in Palenque protesting the stalled wage reform but was refused entry.
• The stalled amendment, approved by both chambers last fall and endorsed by 31 state congresses, would guarantee minimum monthly salaries for teachers, police, armed forces, doctors and nurses based on the IMSS average.
• The reform remains unpublished because Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña has not issued the required declaration of constitutionality.
• Movimiento Ciudadano has filed a petition with the Supreme Court and lodged a complaint with the National Electoral Institute seeking judicial or electoral oversight to compel publication.
• Millions of public-sector workers await the increase, underscoring tensions within Morena’s majority over procedural norms and social justice priorities.
