Overview
- The commission presented preliminary points at Palacio Nacional to President Claudia Sheinbaum, with Morena leaders Ricardo Monreal and Adán Augusto López in attendance.
- Draft measures under discussion include keeping OPLEs under austerity, cutting public financing for parties by nearly half, reducing plurinominal seats, and abandoning the popular election of INE counselors.
- Sheinbaum emphasized guaranteeing the autonomy of electoral authorities, and Morena leaders highlighted a push for participatory democracy, with topics like budget cuts, revocation of mandate and plurinominal changes potentially going to popular consultation.
- Monreal said the package spans roughly a dozen constitutional items—such as chamber integration, party oversight, radio and TV time, electronic voting, and legislative fuero—with a draft expected in two to three weeks depending on agreements with PT and PVEM.
- Kenia López Rabadán set a Thursday meeting with INE president Guadalupe Taddei to review overlaps with her reform principles, as PAN and PRI leaders decry the initiative as a bid to control elections.
