The president of the Green Party in the Senate, Manuel Velasco, pressured Morena to ensure that the anti-nepotism reform does not take effect until the 2030 elections, contradicting the original proposal presented by the presidency in February. The Senate approved the reform, but it must be analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies.
In response, several legislators suggested revisiting the original proposal by Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico, to implement the ban on nepotism in 2027 or even in 2025, although opinions appear divided. Alfonso Ramírez Cuellar, a deputy from Morena, supports Sheinbaum's proposal and advocates for respecting her decision.
The coordinator of the Green Party in the Senate, Manuel Velasco, criticized Alfonso Ramírez Cuellar for trying to modify the anti-nepotism reform in the Chamber of Deputies. Despite the discrepancies, Ramírez Cuellar expressed his hope to obtain the necessary votes to modify the proposal and support Sheinbaum's position to implement it in 2027.
Amid the discussion, Ramírez Cuellar mentioned that he shares Sheinbaum's view of implementing the reform on the 27th of a specific month that he did not specify, and pointed out that the president is interested in having the law apply on that date. It is worth noting that Ramírez Cuellar has personal aspirations, as he seeks to run as a candidate for governor of Zacatecas.
