Alejandro Pérez Ibarra, the general secretary of Morena, did not rule out that in the future, the proposals rejected by the Congress of the Union could be revisited. These include the elimination of proportional representation, cuts to political party budgets, and the expansion of the recall mechanism not only for the president but for all offices, including mayors and governors. This comes after the lack of votes in the Senate for the electoral reform and the lack of support from the Labor Party (PT) on the recall of mandate included in the 'Plan B'. 'I do not rule out that in the next legislative period, the proposal to cut political party funding, eliminate proportional representation, and update and simplify the recall tool can be taken up again,' he explained. He stated that in a democracy, there are differences of opinion, so the lack of support from the allied party is a respected stance but not one they share, as they saw no problem with this exercise being concurrent with the 2027 elections. 'Strengthening and facilitating citizen participation tools is fundamental to strengthening a democracy,' he said. Although he denied that the failure of the initiative, as proposed by the presidency, is a 'blow' or represents a 'rupture' in the movement of the Fourth Transformation, he emphasized that it will be the citizenry that will evaluate the performance of each actor and political party. However, he considered that the most important thing is for proposals led and legitimized by the citizenry to continue to be presented so that they can eventually become a reality. It is worth mentioning that aspects such as a cap of up to 15 councilors per municipality, a cap on the budgets of local congresses, a 15% reduction in Senate spending, as well as the elimination of benefits for officials of electoral bodies and salaries higher than that of the presidency of the republic, were advanced.
