Morena postpones “out of prudence” the discussion of the electoral reform in the Chamber of Deputies

Deputy Ignacio Mier Velazco, coordinator of Morena on the Chamber of Deputiesassured that his parliamentary group requested that the vote on the electoral reform be postponed until the following week, “out of prudence” and at the request of some legislators.

He is also president of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo), asserted that this decision was taken hand in hand with the coordinators of the rest of the Juntos Haremos Historia: Partido del Trabajo coalition (PT) and the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM).

He argued that postponing the discussion of the project until December 6 is so that legislators have more time to analyze the opinion that was endorsed on Monday in joint commissions, which maintains the initiative presented by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador almost entirely.

Meanwhile, Mier Velazco said that it is false that the postponement of the discussion and vote in the plenary session of San Lázaro of the electoral reform promoted by Morena, is due to a possible threat of the PVEM to condition this vote or seek to convince the PRI.

And it is that the coordinator of Morena He rejected the intention of “delaying this opinion” or seeking to convince the PRI, since they are aware of the position of rejection of this constitutional reform by the opposition will not change.

Today the declaration of publicity will be made in the Gazette and several deputies wanted to have more time to internalize their content, in the analysis of it, and for this reason we decided that it was worth being prudent and giving an opportunity for it to be discuss the opinion in plenary next Tuesday, Wednesday,” he said.

In addition, he warned that the versions about a possible threat of the PVEM to condition this vote, is part of an opposition strategy only intended to divert attention.

“That is what the others are saying to divert attention, that is false. I tell you on time, we must not forget that what the opposition to us is programmatically plagued with is lies. Who can believe them? Let’s see, who believes them? Take a poll to see who believes you,” she said.

He asserted that these rumors of dividing the “Together We Make History” coalition will not prosper, since convictions are not negotiated. “We are not the same”.

Meanwhile, he stressed that they are also waiting for the proposal to reform secondary laws, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s “Plan B”, which are intended to be discussed before the end of the ordinary period.

Regarding the petition of Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) to discuss this week the bill of the Senate of the Republic that extends vacations in the first year of work from 6 to 12 days, indicated that he arrived eight days ago and is in committees.

He rejected that there is pressure from the companies to stop the legislative process of this bill, what exists, he said, are some concerns on the part of some sectors.
