On Wednesday, Claudia Sheinbaum presented a ten-point plan that summarizes the main points of the electoral reform, whose submission to Congress is planned for today, although it is not clear if it will have full support. However, the president assured that she already has a strategy planned in case her initiative is rejected. "For me, it's a victory because I am sending a proposal that the people asked for in full, and whoever wants to try it will be judged by the people," she defended. The mayor conditions the continuity of the alliance with PT and Verde in 2027 on the approval of the Electoral Reform. Her "Decalogue for Democracy," included in the electoral reform, contemplates the election of proportional representation to Congress; the reduction of spending; greater oversight of resources and not exceeding campaign spending limits; that in the vote from abroad, the deputies who will represent those votes be decided by those living outside the country; radio and television times; artificial intelligence regulated by the INE; district tallies; participatory democracy; no nepotism; no re-election. The president assured that, in particular, the first two points related to proportional lists and the reduction of election spending were the main demands of the people. "I am fulfilling my promise, and now it depends on the deputies and the Senate whether it is approved," she said. "There is a plan B," she affirmed during her morning press conference at the National Palace when questioned about the possibility of consensus not being reached in Congress. "But I would offer more details later," she added to the insistence of a reporter. She also rejected that not approving her proposal would mean a defeat for her.
