At a critical moment, opening an electoral reform only adds uncertainty, when what the country needs now is stability to work, invest, and sustain the economy. The Business Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) sent formal communications to all senators in the country, asking them to stop any modifications to the electoral system. "We reiterate our position: the best electoral reform is no electoral reform at this moment. Weakening the electoral referee does not help solve the problems affecting Mexican families, but rather diverts attention from the truly pressing challenges." The message is direct: do not change the electoral rules. "The country needs to strengthen its rule of law, guarantee security conditions, ensure sufficient energy, and consolidate a legal environment that allows companies to plan, invest, and generate jobs," it was stated. Do not open debates that polarize. Through the letters sent to senators, the national president of Coparmex, Juan José Sierra Álvarez, pointed out that "Mexico requires political stability and legal certainty, and not to open debates that, far from strengthening democracy, generate polarization and uncertainty." In the face of the debate on electoral reform and the possibility of the so-called Plan B, the confederation highlighted that, simultaneously, the presidencies of its Business Centers throughout the country replicated this effort and sent letters to the legislators representing each state. It revealed that these letters clearly establish that "Mexico is going through a critical moment that demands certainty, not changes in the rules of the democratic game," and that altering the institutional framework in this context generates immediate negative effects. What do the Coparmex letters say? The business confederation stated that the "communications sent" to the country's senators "emphasize" three central elements: First, political stability is an indispensable condition for economic confidence, so altering electoral institutions—at this moment—generates signals of uncertainty that directly impact the arrival of capital. Second, a reform of this magnitude requires broad consensus and a national dialogue process that is not observed today. "Reforms of this magnitude cannot be imposed because they weaken institutional legitimacy." Third, there are urgent priorities such as security, health, and economic growth that demand immediate attention and effective solutions.
