Senator Cynthia López has revealed her cards for a political process that must comply with the recent judicial reform. Although her integration into the Morena caucus has not been formalized, she has aligned herself with the Fourth Transformation by abstaining from voting against the constitutional supremacy reform proposed by Morena.
Ricardo Monreal, leader of the Morena caucus in the Chamber of Deputies, called his legislators to ensure their entry into the Palace of San Lázaro, amid the threat of a blockade by Judicial Branch workers. The discussion and voting on the constitutional supremacy reform were compromised after the attempt to approve the bill in fast track failed.
The position of the legislators and allies of Morena seems to be motivated more by revenge than by democracy regarding the judicial reform. The president of the Senate accused them of trying to leave "with their bags full," which complicates dialogue between political powers.
The resignation of Senator Cynthia López from the PRI caucus, which was initially expected to be announced along with Morena legislators, was unexpectedly postponed. While a mechanism for evaluating the proposed profiles is defined, the political situation is intertwined with the legitimacy of the candidates.
Speculation has arisen about whether Senator López will reconsider her integration into the Fourth Transformation, amid accusations and allegations among various political actors.
