IP asks the Senate not to approve “plan B” of the electoral reform

The business sector reiterated that this is not the time for a electoral reformfor which he asked the senators to carry out an in-depth analysis of the laws proposed by the federal Executive so as not to affect democracy.

Within the framework of the discussion to reform the secondary electoral laws, the Business Coordinating Council (CCE) said he is confident that the Senate of the Republic will analyze in depth the minute it received from the Chamber of Deputies, to favor the construction of an increasingly broad and representative democracy.

yesterday the Employers Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) ruled because they do not endorse the modifications to secondary electoral laws that were approved in the Chamber of Deputies, after the refusal of different political forces to the constitutional reform in this matter, which was promoted by the Federal Executive.

“We recognize the Deputies who first rejected the constitutional reform, and then the changes to the secondary laws that were voted yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies; They acted in coherence with the struggle that the citizens have led for more than 30 years, to prevent the government from organizing the elections,” said the employers’ organization.

From the business sector, the CCE expressed its support for the electoral bodies, both the National Electoral Institute (INE) as the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF), which have been decisive in consolidating the confidence and stability of our elections.

The reforms to secondary laws, known as “Plan B”, violating the INE, the Local Electoral Public Bodies (OPLE ́s), as well as the TEPJF”, Coparmex warned.

The strengthening of our democracy is essential for the development of the country, insisted the CCE.

“It is not the way or the moment for an electoral reform that does not have the consensus of all the political forces and the citizen support; It is not just any reform, it is one that fully hits our national electoral system and, therefore, our rights and freedoms; because it is clear that for our country to live a full democracy, the rules of the electoral game, and the selection of the arbitrator, must be agreed neutrally by all so that they have credibility”, warned the business sector.
