The vice-coordinator of the Morena parliamentary group, Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, presented an initiative in the Chamber of Deputies to eliminate criminal immunity for federal legislators and governors. This movement comes at a crucial moment, as the Instruction Section is about to determine whether a political trial against Cuauhtémoc Blanco, former governor of Morelos and current deputy, as well as the president of the PRI, Alito Moreno, proceeds or not.
In this context, Ramírez Cuéllar urged Blanco and Moreno to voluntarily resign from the trial of origin and to appear before the Public Ministry. In his words, he stated that impunity cannot be tolerated in the face of corruption allegations and that approving this reform would help eradicate the mechanisms that generate impunity in the country.
Ramírez Cuéllar emphasized that the elimination of criminal immunity is a necessary measure to promote equality in the application of justice and combat impunity. The initiative was originally scheduled to come into effect in 2027, but political pressures led to its implementation being postponed, thus preserving unity within the ruling coalition.
The federal deputy pointed out that he has begun efforts within the 4T and among various parliamentary groups to advance this reform in the coming days. If approved, this measure would complement the electoral reforms already endorsed by the 4T, such as the prohibition of reelection and direct family candidacies starting in 2030.
