PVEM condiciona apoyo a reforma electoral a reglas claras y piso parejo

Overview

  • Manuel Velasco said the PVEM supports pursuing electoral reform only through a broad debate that seeks the widest possible consensus.
  • The party would accept a 50% cut to public party financing only under an equal per‑party allocation and warns against measures that disadvantage smaller forces.
  • The PVEM opposes eliminating plurinominal seats, arguing that proportional representation must be preserved.
  • Velasco insisted the alliance with Morena and the PT is not at risk and urged the three parties to maintain unity during the talks.
  • Starting September 1 the PVEM will hold a vice presidency on the Senate’s Mesa Directiva, and in the Chamber of Deputies leaders pledged to honor the rotation with PAN presiding in the first year and the PVEM in the third.
