As the Constitution indicates, he said. Against the initial strategy, the Commissioner for the Presidency was removed from the negotiations, and instead of Pablo Gómez, it is the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez herself, who commands the teams in the legislative tug-of-war. Emboldened by Monreal's statements, the Green Party senator Manuel Velasco and the 'petista' Beto Anaya attended this weekend's meeting with the Morena leader Luisa María Alcalde, assuming that Morena and the National Palace had conceded in favor of approving the Electoral Reform presented by President Claudia Sheinbaum. An order came out of the National Palace not to back down, and that the negotiation was directly with the Presidency. This displaced Senator Adán Augusto López—his removal from the coordination of the Morena faction left no room for doubt—and also deactivated the operation of Deputy Ricardo Monreal, who has tried to mediate without success. In Querétaro, precisely during the Constitution celebration at the Republic Theater, Monreal Ávila affirmed that the disappearance of proportional representation legislators had been 'overcome' and 'will remain as it is currently': 300 deputies by relative majority and 200 deputies by proportional representation. Morena's official position hardened after weeks of negotiation with the leaders of the Green Party and the Labor Party. But no. Alcalde Luján was firm and rejected eliminating the reduction in political party financing and also kept the decrease in proportional representation deputies, throwing overboard what had at least seemed to have been advanced in the 4T's legislative alliance. Sheinbaum's reprimand put Alcalde on alert, and she now speaks of the end of the 'open-door Morena'. In the Green Party's parliamentary group, they explained to LPO operators from the coordination that neither Velasco Coello nor the deputy Carlos Puente nor the leader Karen Castrejón accept the constitutional reform proposal as it comes because it would mean the disappearance of the 4T alliance, particularly the Morena-Green coalition. Without the Green Party needing to secure its seats, that is, without the Green votes in the Legislative Branch, the toucan party could no longer negotiate with Morena on equal terms, and there is even a risk that the Green Party could become an electoral rival to the obrerismo movement. Above all, the party led by Velasco, Puente, and Castrejón fears that the proposal could change Articles IV and V of Article 54 of the Constitution, where the clause that establishes strict limits on over-representation is found, ensuring that no political party has an overwhelming majority and eliminates minority representation. The first fraction establishes that no party may have more than 300 deputies by the principles of relative majority and proportional representation; the second fraction decrees that the number of deputies of a party, by both principles, cannot exceed eight percentage points of its national vote cast. Hence their current opposition. Now, the Greens say, this could change drastically, to the detriment of their own interests.
Mexican Political Crisis: Electoral Reform Causes Rift
A political crisis has intensified in Mexico over electoral reform. President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected opposition proposals, leading to a rift in the ruling coalition and the sidelining of key figures, including Senator Adán Augusto López and Deputy Ricardo Monreal. The Green Party, fearing a loss of influence, now considers becoming a political rival to the López Obrador movement.
