PAN and PRD describe AMLO’s electoral reform as a constitutional “coup”

Separately, the national leaders of the PAN, Marko Cortés, and of the PRD, Jesús Zambrano, described the approval in the Senate of the electoral reform (Plan B) promoted by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

PAN member Marko Cortés affirmed that, once the norm is published, the PAN will promote an action of unconstitutionality against the electoral norm before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.

“Morena and López Obrador with their revenge plan V, have dealt a new blow to the Constitution and the INE, evidencing their ambition to control and weaken the institutions. We will file an Unconstitutionality Action, trusting that the SCJN will respond appropriately,” he said.

For his part, the PRD member Jesús Zambrano asserted that President López Obrador “is not the Francisco I. Madero of our times, but the jackal Victoriano Huerta who betrayed the 1910 Revolution, today AMLO seeks to bury democracy; is wanting to bury the great legacy of millions of people in our country.

From the United States, the director of the Center for the US and Mexico, Tony Payan, described the approval of the so-called electoral “Plan B” as a setback.

“Mexico took one of its biggest leaps backwards. Her democracy, although imperfect, was better than the result of the vote last night (in the Senate). It seems that it will be up to the Judiciary to protect what it can, and each citizen to remove the autocrats of Morena in the next elections, ”he asserted.
