Overview
- Sheinbaum said the initiative is still being written and targeted the first or second week of February for formal submission to Congress.
- The plan seeks to cut public spending on parties, the INE and state OPLEs without impairing operations, with an emphasis on stronger oversight of campaign resources and sanctions.
- The proposal keeps proportional representation but would change how plurinominal seats are filled so they are not determined by party leadership lists.
- The package aims to expand participatory mechanisms at municipal and state levels, improve voting and representation for Mexicans abroad, review the number of municipal regidores, and study limits to legislative fuero.
- Opposition figures branded the outline a “Ley Maduro,” while former electoral officials warned of risks from funding cuts and potential overrepresentation; Sheinbaum said talks will run through the presidential commission and Interior Ministry rather than direct meetings with party leaders.
