At the last minute and practically surreptitiously, Morena seeks to protect with “parliamentary Teflon” the 20 initiatives of the President, or at least the 18 constitutional ones, to prevent them from being discarded. Yesterday the version circulated in San Lázaro that the president and the Morenoist secretaries of the Constitutional Points Commission were working at full speed to rule on the presidential proposals, so that they would not be discarded as initiatives without a ruling at the end of the legislature, as indicated by the regulation. This is how they are “saved”, either for an extraordinary period – which the leader of Morena, Ignacio Mier, did not rule out yesterday – or to resume them in the next legislature. The detail is that the commission has not called a session nor has it presented the report of the forums. Another icing on the cake or just a feint?
The period closes… and the missing magistrates?
The regular period of sessions closes today, however, the Senate has pending the appointment of two magistrates of the Superior Chamber of the TEPJF, six magistrates of regional chambers and another 41 vacancies of local courts. However, everything indicates that for the majority of Morena and its allies, it is a priority to heed the order from the National Palace to freeze said appointments, above the calls made from society. Just yesterday, the National Agreement for Electoral Integrity demanded that senators stop postponing their obligation and launch the process of appointing all the missing magistrates in an extraordinary period explicitly called for this purpose. Morena, until now, turns a deaf ear.
Legislative, with zero interlocution
With a new complaint, the heads of the opposition benches in the Chamber of Deputies said goodbye yesterday, in its last ordinary session. They claimed that not only did the heads of Security, Health, Energy, Pemex, among others, not attend private meetings with the Jucopo, but what bothered them the most – they told us – was that there was a commitment from Morena that the Secretary of the Treasury would attend. , Rogelio Ramírez de la O, to briefly explain the Economic Policy Precriteria for 2025 and it was not met. There is now zero dialogue between the Executive and the Legislature, complained PRI member Rubén Moreira.
Indifference to debates
The candidates of the PAN, PRI and PRD formula to the Senate for CDMX, the PRI representative Cynthia López and the former PRD representative Verónica Juárez, regretted yesterday that neither Morena nor MC followed their game by going to a public debate. They criticized that neither the Morenistas Omar García Harfuch and Ernestina Godoy, nor the former PRD national leader Alejandra Barrales – today dressed in orange – as well as the controversial Sandra Cuevas, agreed to debate with them. “If they are afraid of debate, then how do they want to be senators, where they will have to debate for six years?”… If they get there…
CNTE will ‘celebrate’ Teacher’s Day… with indefinite strike
Although there were four meetings with the federal Executive, the CNTE teachers announced a national strike starting on May 15, Teacher’s Day. But not only that, among the surprises there is also a “national sit-in in Mexico City and synchronized actions in the rest of the country.” Between the disdain for the PISA test – in which Mexico has been declining – and the lack of classes, it is clear that those who lose out, as always, are the students.
