Morena argued that the TEPJF “meddled” in the Chamber of Deputies, so with its reform it seeks that from now on none of its parliamentary decisions can be challenged. Graciela Sánchez, a Morenista deputy, assured that the separation of powers is sought to be protected.
The initiative was proposed by the deputy of Morena Sergio Gutiérrez Luna and signed in support by the leader of the PRI in the Chamber, Rubén Moreira, for which, together with the PT, PRD, PVEM, they reached the votes, against 136 of the PAN and MC and 9 abstentions.
The reform confirmed that those of the “PRIMOR” are “dancing their cheeks”, accused the emecista Mirza Flores, who proposed a suspensive motion to stop the reform. But this was finalized and the minute was sent to the Senate.
The reform to article 10 of the General Law of the System of Challenging Means in Electoral Matters that was approved, introduced a cause of inadmissibility of challenges: “When it is intended to challenge any parliamentary act of the Congress of the Union, its Permanent Commission or any of its its Chambers, issued by its governing bodies, such as those concerning the integration, organization and internal functioning of its legislative bodies and commissions”.
However, it does not only refer to the decisions of the plenary session, but also those that could be taken by the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) or the Chamber’s board of directors.
This would not only include the distribution of commissions, but also resources and decisions of another order, such as those related to appointments, since the Jucopo in the Senate determines the lists of those proposed to the plenary session to hold positions as electoral magistrates or members of autonomous bodies.
“One, when you approve discretionary tools of power for a president, for a majority, you risk having them against you tomorrow,” said the MC coordinator, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, for which he announced that if the amendment prospers in the Senate, his bench will go to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) so that the decision is reversed for the sake of the system of checks and balances.
