MEXICO CITY.— On Monday next November 10the Commission on Constitutional Points of the Chamber of Deputies, chaired by the morenista Leonel Godoy Rangel and with an official majority (32 against 10 of the opposition), it will discuss the ruling that reforms article 35 of the constitution, to tie the revocation of mandate with the midterm election of 2027.
In this regard, the PRI coordinator, Ruben Moreiraaccused that Morena wants President Claudia Sheinbaum to campaign in 2027along with the cherry candidates for federal deputies, governors in 17 entities and judges.
“The objective is to advance the revocation and tie it with the election of federal deputies. What does this imply? that the President of the Republic gets on the election ballot in the midterms, against the Mexican democracy. The President of the Republic will be able to campaign so as not to be, in quotes, revoked, because they are going to put this together to enter the campaigns, and the Morena candidates are going to hang on to her in the constitutional campaign,” he stated.
The coordinator of the PRI bench commented that the constitutional reform could be part of a strategy to support Morena, because the head of the Executive fears losing the qualified majority in the Chamber of Deputiesin the 2027 election.
“I believe that the President is afraid of losing the majority and wants to get involved in the election, it is one of the hypotheses,” he stressed.
Second hypothesis
“The second hypothesis is that she could lose the intermediary and they would not want to remove her, which could be the opponents, but it could also be within Morena. And then with it she shields herselfIn other words, this gives rise to many hypotheses,” he explained.
In response, the coordinator of Morena, Ricardo Monreal, stated that “there is no clever plan” in the reform that advances the revocation of the mandate, so that it is carried out “on the same day and during the electoral day corresponding to the ordinary intermediate elections to elect deputies to the Congress of the Union”.
Currently, the The Constitution establishes that the consultation on the revocation of the mandate must be held on the Sunday following 90 days after the calland on date not coinciding with electoral days, federal or local.
“It is a priority to review and, where appropriate, support two constitutional reforms, the elimination of jurisdiction and the revocation of the mandate. For us, citizens exercising the power of control over the president is a priority,” said Ricardo Monreal.
The initiative was presented by the deputy Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar (Morena)on September 18, and the following day it was submitted to the Constitutional Points Commission. And it will be discussed and, where appropriate, approved next Monday.
