The leader of Morena in the lower house, Ricardo Monreal, anticipated that due to persistent disagreements with the Labor Party (PT), the most likely scenario is the removal from Plan B of the electoral reform of the modifications to article 35 of the Constitution to exclude the issue of the revocation of mandate. This could lead to the Senate approving an 'incomplete reform,' he said. Monreal explained that although the bill proposed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, which includes modifying articles 35, 115, 116, and 134 of the Constitution, was approved in the joint commissions of the Senate, in the particular discussion in the plenary session, a qualified majority for article 35 might not be reached—without the PT's vote—and it would be eliminated. This would imply, he anticipated, that an 'incomplete electoral reform' would be sent to the Chamber of Deputies, and the part discarded by the senators could no longer be taken up. 'One hypothesis is that it is approved by a qualified majority and is sent to the Chamber of Deputies,' he added.
