The controversial ”Wife Law” was approved in the state Congress in December.
“We want to tell you that we are going to exercise our right to veto, we are going to return the law so that it can be reviewed by the State Electoral and Citizen Participation Council (Ceepac) and by the Chamber of Deputies,” Gallardo said in a video.
“We are going to veto it, we are going to throw it back again, so that it is reviewed, and so that it is modified, because we do not want them to go around saying that laws are being made in a way, or that candidates are being put in a way, because that is what the Opposition uses. They do it to try to denigrate the work we are doing,” he added.
The governor assured that he did not propose said law. He also said that no matter who he runs against in 2027, his party, the Ecologist Green, will stay with the government.
“The Green Party does not need any law, it is going to win in 2027, with men, with women, we have many candidates, and we do not need any law, that is why we are exercising the right to veto,” he said.
The ”Wife Law” caused controversy amid the internal reforms in Morena to prevent nepotism in its candidacies – alone or in alliance -.
The Green Party is one of Morena’s allies at the national level.
The national leadership of Morena had already announced that it would present unconstitutionality actions against the legislation that was vetoed today.
