During the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies of the ruling that orders the disappearance of seven autonomous organizations, Morena will propose a reservation to create a antitrust agency that would replace the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) and the Federal Competition Commission (Cofece).

This was indicated by the vice coordinator of the Guinda parliamentary group, Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, who pointed out that although the aforementioned agency would not have autonomy, it would be an entity independent and professional, who is not judge and party in their specialty, since this could be penalized in the context of the T-MEC.

Interviewed after an internal meeting of the Morenoist bench, in which the constitutional reforms that will be voted on in plenary next week were analyzed, the legislator stressed that in the extinction of the autonomous organizations an amendment to constitutional article 28 will be proposed, to create a mechanism that combats the hoarding of economic power.

Today the fight against monopolistic practices is divided into two: telecommunications is seen by the IFT, and the rest of the markets are seen by Cofece. Now we will have a single antitrust agency to look at competition in all markets. We still do not have its legal status, but we would propose a reservation so that it remains as an organization without constitutional autonomy, but independent and with a lot of professionalism and specialization.he explained.

An organization with these characteristics is necessary, he indicated, because The expropriation of income by monopolistic groups is excessive and is harming users and consumers. Multimillion-dollar volumes of income are extracted from consumers, because they (monopoly companies) impose prices, having absolute or dominant control in the market..

According to Ramírez Cuéllar, What we are looking for is not the disappearance, but the strengthening of autonomous bodies, no longer as such, but with very clear and strong independence that is indicated in the Constitution itself..

In the analysis forum held yesterday by Morena, it was mentioned that other reservations will be presented in the plenary session so that some functions of the INAI are assumed by the newly created Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency, and that Coneval can have the character of an attached decentralized body to the Secretary of Welfare. The work of Mejoredu would be adopted by the Ministry of Public Education, and those of the Energy Regulatory and National Hydrocarbons commissions, by the Ministry of Energy.
