Overview
- PRI senator Anabell Ávalos filed an amendment to Article 64 to dock a day's pay from any lawmaker caught sleeping or doing unrelated activities during sessions, with separation from office for repeat violations.
- The proposal was formally presented and referred to congressional commissions for discussion, and it has not yet been put to a vote.
- High-profile episodes cited include Adán Augusto López watching a football match during a Senate appearance and Cuauhtémoc Blanco taking part in a commission while on a padel court.
- The Budget Commission approved an opinion on the General Extortion Law with only one of 58 members physically present, 44 connected remotely and 13 absent, intensifying scrutiny of semi-presential meetings.
- Party leaders outlined immediate steps: PRI coordinator Rubén Moreira urged ending hybrid sessions, Morena moved to tighten attendance, Jucopo chief Ricardo Monreal pledged stricter rules, and PT leader Reginaldo Sandoval endorsed a return to fully in-person work.
