Ignacio Mierleader of the Morena bench in the Chamber of Deputies, and Mario Delgadoparty chairman, defended Electoral Reform Plan B. They assured that the initiative of President López Obrador does not violate the Constitution, but that the opposition has raised a “political narrative” to make public opinion believe that it is.
During a press conference, Mier Velazco underlined this Thursday, March 2 that the presidency of the National Electoral Institute (INE) insisted on the fact that the reform jeopardizes the secrecy and autonomy of the electoral register, since it gives powers to the Foreign Affairs Secretary (ERS) to identify a group of citizens.
However, the also president of the Policy Coordination Council (Jucopo) of San Lázaro pointed out that this statement is far from reality, since the initiative recognizes the operational and technical impossibility of the INE to be able to guarantee the accreditation of more than 10 million Mexicans living abroad, it therefore empowers a Secretary of State to identify citizens so that they can vote.
They also succeeded in reducing the number of district and local committees, “Wrong, the same number will remain. They will be 300 and 32″, respectively. “What is changed, and which can be done, is the number of committee members.” They currently have five and with the initiative it is reduced to three.
It should be remembered that each member of the district invoices monthly 50 thousand pesos and each local member up to 111 thousand pesos. Thus, the reduction of these civil servants would represent an annual saving of approximately 37 million pesos: 30 million expenditure for the district committees and 7 million for the local committees.
Regarding the alleged dismissal of thousands of INE employees, the Morenista said that it can be avoided if senior officials renounce their excesses. “That the big medical expenses disappear, that the payment for mobile phone, assistantship, drivers and purchase of vehicles“, he suggested.
“Don’t fire anyone, build 2 billion peso trusts into your operating expenses.”
He noted that of 23 billion pesos which are intended for operating expenses, between superfluous expenses and payment of the payroll of 400 senior civil servants, are intended 15 billion pesos Therefore, he insisted on eliminating unnecessary expenses, but “they don’t want to give up their privileges”.
For his part, Mario Delgado underlined that, contrary to what the opposition would have us believe, the reform of the President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) does not generate uncertainty between the Private Initiative (PI). To support this point, he recalled the investment of Elon Musk in Mexicosince it will install a gigafactory in Nuevo León You’re herewhere electromobility and thousands of jobs will be promoted.
“It’s not what the right wants to sell that democracy is in danger or that the vote is in danger, it has nothing to do”
That is why the chairman of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) rejected this political agenda propagated by “the good” mexican. In this sense, he pointed out that “investors do not put their money anywhere”. In this sense, he pointed out that in addition to political stability, Mexico offers market certainties, which would hardly be true if Mexican democracy were in danger.
Finally, it should be noted that members of the political opposition (PRI, PAN, PRD, MC and INE) threatened to promote actions of unconstitutionality against the Plan B of AMLO before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), considering that it contravenes the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (CPEUM); However, the Cherry bench remain confident that they will not continue.
