Both former councilors insisted that with the current electoral reform, the presidential election of 2024 can be held, given that we are not on the verge of a governability crisis.
The doctor in Political Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Woldenberg, explained that the eight reforms approved from 1977 to date, responded to demands from the opposition, unlike the current one, whose origin is the Federal Executive.
In addition, he said, each and every one of them sought to formulate a certain consensus. “In this one (that of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador), no one was heard. All the reforms had a progressive character, some more, others less, but today, the sense is regressive”, he added.
According to the academic, “what we have today (in the current reform) is that all the links in the electoral process work, from the register, the counting of the votes, to the way in which the results are made known through of the Preliminary Electoral Results Program (PREP) and the quick counts”.
Even the federal government and its party, Morena, have been beneficiaries of that electoral system, “that is why it is doubly surprising that they attack the system that allowed them to reach the federal government and 20 state governments,” he added.
