Overview
- The PRI caucus filed a punto de acuerdo in the Senate on Sept. 17–18 urging a formal designation for the Venezuelan group and for criminal organizations operating in Mexico.
- The request exhorts the executive, via the National Security Council and under the National Security Law, to declare those groups terrorist organizations.
- PRI leader Alejandro Moreno called on all parties to support the measure, citing recent actions in the United States, Colombia and Peru to justify regional coordination.
- Supporters argue the designation would strengthen intelligence sharing, prosecutions and sanctions against transnational networks that threaten public safety, the rule of law and national sovereignty.
- The push includes accusations against Morena over alleged 'huachicol fiscal' schemes, while any designation remains pending Senate debate and an executive decision.
