The agreement of the Jurisdictional Commission was that in a first stage “we are going to unload, first as a priority, what comes in this legislature. The second order of priority, what comes from the previous legislature and thus, we are going to unburden ourselves legislature by legislature.”
He admitted that there is no clarity in the figures: “there are three numbers right now, yes: one, 216 issues in a legislative information system, 540 or so in files and more than 1,200, if we add all the legislatures from a long time ago” , 30 years ago.
The Jurisdictional Commission, the Prior Examination Subcommittee and the Investigative Section are three instances of the Chamber of Deputies that, with different powers, each process impeachment requests in their different phases.
Among others, assess whether a formal procedure is initiated, substantiate and carry out proceedings, testimonials, decide whether to propose to the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies the origin or not.

“I am not worried at all, because I have acted in accordance with the law; “I did everything, and despite the onslaught of brutal power against a politician who opposed this regime of persecution in the last five years, they did not bend me, they did not back down from me and I will never back down,” said the PRI leader.
“They are so confused because they are very confused that they say that the issue is in the Chamber of Deputies, when it is a fact that has been clearly concluded by the Chamber of Deputies; but since they do not know, they do not prepare and they do not see, they do not have the correct data” , he added during a press conference.
