The vote on the constitutional supremacy reform, approved on the night of Wednesday, October 30, in the Chamber of Deputies, generated new controversy this Thursday. Deputy Pedro Haces from Morena confirmed that his vote appeared in the count despite not being present during the discussion and voting.
"Let the PAN investigate it," was his response in the Chamber of Deputies when confirming that he did not participate in the voting. He explained that he was absent because he was occupied with his work and does not know how his vote was registered in the approval of constitutional supremacy.
Haces, a labor leader, defended himself against the opposition's criticisms, stating that his absence in the session is not the PAN's responsibility. The reform to Articles 105 and 107 of the Constitution was approved with 343 votes in favor and 129 against.
Before justifying his absence from the session for work reasons, Deputy Haces was accused by the PAN of having attended the World Series of Baseball in the United States. After being approved in the Lower House, the initiative moved to local congresses, where it was supported by Morena and its allies in more than the 17 chambers necessary to be consolidated at the national level.
Ricardo Monreal, coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, has not commented on Haces' voting. It is important to mention that in the Parliamentary Gazette, Haces' vote regarding constitutional supremacy was removed, which some experts have labeled as a "double fraud."
