Senate Reassigns Navy Committee to Morena, Replacing ‘Alito’ Moreno With Carlos Lomelí

Senate leaders cite proportionality rules triggered by a PRI defection to Movimiento Ciudadano.

Overview

  • The Plenary approved a Jucopo agreement naming Morena senator Carlos Lomelí as president of the Commission of Marina in place of PRI’s Alejandro Moreno.
  • The decision was recorded in the Gaceta del Senado dated September 18 and took effect upon approval.
  • Jucopo chief Adán Augusto López said the reallocation followed a change in parliamentary balance after Senator Néstor Camarillo left the PRI for Movimiento Ciudadano.
  • PRI figures Manuel Añorve and Alejandro Moreno denounced the move as political revenge and rejected the proportionality explanation.
  • As part of the reshuffle, Jucopo turned the Special Commission for the Follow-up of the 2030 Agenda into an ordinary commission in favor of Movimiento Ciudadano.
