No one will be denied the opportunity to participate in the analysis forums of the constitutional reform initiative in electrical matters, assured the coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, Ignacio Mier. Days after the complaint by the president of the Business Coordinating Council, Carlos Salazar, who complained of having been prevented from intervening in that exercise, the Morenista legislator reiterated that the participation of the interested parties must comply with the conditions imposed in that body of Congress.
He considered the first week of forums a success, in addition to having maximum publicity
. In a bulletin, he insisted that the convening of the Chamber of Deputies resulted in an intense debate, exchange of ideas for and against so that the electrical reform is widely known by all and that finally, with a broad criterion, it is voted on in the Chamber of Deputies. In these forums will be all those who wish to participate, we are not going to deny anyone their right to attend. But the only call is to continue to respect the rules of this debate, as all the participants have done.
.
In tune with the government speech, he repeated that the current model in the electricity market it is bleeding the economy of Mexican families and, for this reason, from the Morena group we are going to defend the CFE. Those of us who defend the reform are convinced that it is an initiative that suits all Mexicans, because it reverses the robbery that was committed in 2013
.
He also recalled that the current prevailing model in the electricity industry costs Mexicans 490 billion pesos, equivalent to the resources that are granted for two years to the pension for the elderly.
In this sense, Ignacio Mier argued that this electricity reform is not against private investment, we just want better rules, a level playing field and guarantees for all investors. Today we see that the privatization model brought nothing more than an unfavorable balance, with which our economy ceased to be among the most important in the world and leaving a debt that is equivalent to at least twice the budget of the Federation”.
