Overview
- The executive will send a constitutional amendment to Article 127 to cap pensions for former high‑level trust officials at 50% of the presidential salary, roughly 70,000 pesos per month.
- Sheinbaum confirmed that José Ángel Gurría receives a 120,000‑peso monthly pension from Nacional Financiera as the government published detailed tallies of high payouts across CFE, Pemex, Luz y Fuerza and development banks.
- The Presidency says the measure excludes the Armed Forces and will not touch collective‑bargained pensions; current and former Supreme Court ministers are not included in the proposal.
- Legal specialists forecast extensive amparos if cuts reach current beneficiaries, noting many schemes were created via complements or trusts that may be treated as acquired rights.
- Because it is a constitutional change, the initiative requires qualified majorities in both chambers and approval by state legislatures, so any fiscal impact would not be immediate.
