Overview
- PAN and PRI leaders publicly reject the proposal, branding it the “Ley Maduro” and warning it would weaken the INE and centralize election oversight.
- PAN chief Jorge Romero alleges the plan would normalize criminal money in campaigns, citing past cases such as the huachicol fiscal, La Barredora and Los Carmona, as well as sanctions and visa revocations.
- Critics argue that cutting public party financing without stronger auditing would legalize corruption and facilitate illicit funding.
- Opponents say the initiative seeks to eliminate or reduce proportional representation, with Romero claiming Morena turned 54% of votes into 73% of congressional seats.
- El Imparcial reports the draft is expected to be formally presented and debated in the coming weeks as Morena, PT and PVEM hold a majority in the lower house and approach one in the Senate.
