After speculation about the delay in the publication of the Electoral Reform Plan B in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DDL), finally the poster shone there in the early hours of the morning of Thursday, March 2.
AMLO stressed that “in Mexico there is more democracy” after condemning the United States for alleged interference
The President of Mexico sent a message to the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, after the statement regarding the march of the INE
This means the controversial executive-sponsored bill will go into effect on March 3 — not applying to elections for the governments of Coahuila and the State of Mexico (Edomex). However, legislative validity also marks the beginning of the legal battle that the opposition and opponents of the current administration had warned against its possible approval in Congress.
i.e. a series of actions of unconstitutionality promoted before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), this after considering that Plan B violates the Magna Carta.
So the adviser National Electoral Institute (INE), Ciro Murayamagave the flag by the electoral body to go to the Power of the Union chaired by Norma Pina Hernandez in order to invalidate the bill originally proposed by President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).

Via your account Twitterthe official who is about to renew his position indicated that the Electoral National will appeal “with respect and conviction” to the Supreme Court to challenge the Electoral Reform Plan B.
With this tenor, Murayama Rendón announced the “beginning of the legal and constitutional battle” against the side of the so-called Fourth Transformation (4T) in order to “save democracy” and “defend the freedoms and (electoral) rights” of citizens. This, by appealing to the accusations that have been leveled against Plan B as an alleged attempt to sabotage the 2024 presidential elections.
“Today, ‘Plan B’ was published in the Official Journal of the Federation. It is already in force. Launch the legal and constitutional battle to save our democracy. The INE will pass with respect and conviction before the SCJN. It is time to defend the freedoms and rights of all”.

It should be remembered that Plan B does not involve a reform of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (CPEUM), it only changes the laws General of electoral institutions and proceduresGeneral of Political Parties and Organization of the Judiciarygeneral of social communication, General Administrative Responsibilities; and promulgates the general law on means of contestation in electoral matters.

However, the entry into force of the said legislation also led to the departure of the director Edmond Jacobo Molina, the “right arm” of the President Counselor Lorenzo Cordoba and whose post will be terminated due to a clause in the reform package.
“As part of an anti-democratic reform, Edmundo will be fired. (…) When constitutional and democratic order is restored, we will be waiting for you at INE”, wrote Córdova Vianello in the farewell message she dedicated to Jacobo Molina – a civil servant who, if he there was no Plan B, would have added 18 years of practice in the dome of the INE.
According to the provisions of the Constitution, at least eight of the 11 magistrates who make up the Superior Chambers of the SCJN will be required to ratify the unconstitutionality that the dissatisfied come to denounce and, in this way, López Obrador’s plan B is completely invalidated.
