Jagged Romero advocates for Sheinbaum to consider electoral reform; urges for a diverse and citizen-oriented politics
In a significant move, Jorge Romero Herrera, the national president of the National Action Party (PAN), has announced a comprehensive electoral reform proposal for Mexico. The reform includes several key points such as the introduction of second round elections for the presidency, primary elections, electronic voting, coalition governments, nullity of elections due to organized crime, and the elimination of overrepresentation.
Romero Herrera emphasized the need for a truly plural commission to oversee the drafting of the reform, with participants from all political parties, civil society, specialists, and electoral authorities. He stressed that the reform should be approved where the people decide, not by power, with strong institutions and clean elections, ensuring full freedom to exercise the vote.
The PAN leader has expressed his concern over a reform regulating the Mexican electoral system that is dictated by a commission dominated by Morena, the ruling party. He has warned that such a reform would be a mortal blow to Mexican democracy and would consolidate an authoritarian state.
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the president, has assured openness for all political forces to participate in the drafting of the electoral reform. However, details about the composition of any commission related to the reform or specific points advocated by the PAN in the current context are not available in the search results.
Pablo Gómez, a former member of the first 100 "pluris" of Congress, is going against them with this electoral reform proposal. He has accused the current congress members of being a "monopoly." However, there is no information available about a "black campaign" against Adán Augusto or allegations of media and opposition "muddying his name."
The PAN's stance on electoral reform typically advocates for transparency, fairness, and inclusivity in the electoral process. The party has historically been a vocal critic of any attempts to weaken the party system or electoral institutions.
