By agreement of the Political Coordination Board (PCB) of the Chamber of Deputies and in order to accelerate and guarantee the approval of the pending electoral reform, the joint commissions of Constitutional, Governance and Electoral Political Reform Points will form a special working group .
Ignacio Mier, president of the highest decision-making body in the lower house and coordinator of the parliamentary group of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) party, explained that said group will be made up of 21 federal deputies from the three aforementioned commissions, three for each.
This means that there will be three representatives for each of the seven political parties with representation in the legislative chamber of San Lázaro, although Movimiento Ciudadano (MC), in the voice of deputy Salvador Caro, resigned from participating in the discussion that has the purpose of approving a reform consensus; he argued that his party will not lend itself to the farce.
“What they are doing is giving the president (Andrés Manuel López Obrador) the conditions to put in his puppet. Movimiento Ciudadano wants to inform all of you and Mexicans that they are not going to participate in this farce and that, furthermore, this harmful project requires that society mobilize, that society speak up to avoid giving the infrastructure to the president of the Republic for this para-democratic project that, I repeat, only seeks to institutionalize the mechanism to put one of its puppets in the presidency,” affirmed the emecist and got up from the table of agreements.
The PCB agreed to make public the document signed by the coordinators of all the parliamentary groups to start the discussion and build the consensus that leads to the approval of the pending electoral reform; this in order to make it clear that MC supported the agreement that is now unknown.

At the beginning of the analysis of the amendment regarding electoral political reform during the meeting of the united commissions, deputies of the PAN, PRI and PRD established that there will be openness on their part to debate the different proposals, except those whose purpose is to weaken the powers of the National Electoral Institute (INE) and local electoral bodies as, they assured, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador intends.
The coordinator of the National Action caucus, Jorge Romero, said he was pleased that a plural electoral reform is intended to be approved because, he clarified, his party will not approve legal changes decided “from another power.”
There will be provision, he announced, to improve the electoral regulatory framework, but not to “attack” the established powers of the electoral, jurisdictional or administrative authorities that are not “perfect”, and “much less” will defend “their holders with name and surname ”.
For the federal deputation of the PRI, Rubén Moreira, its coordinator, announced that the limit for the agreement is that “we are not going to allow the INE to be damaged, nor the Federal Electoral Tribunal, and this understood in its autonomy, in its certainty, in its transparency, in all the conditions that make its work possible”.
In the case of Movimiento Ciudadano (MC), the party announced that it will withdraw from the negotiating tables because it considers that the process has electoral prospects for 2024.
He also assured that the polarization, which is stimulated by the federal government, makes it inappropriate at present to discuss an electoral reform such as the one proposed. (With editorial information)
