Reported by AI Image generated by AI
The Senate postponed discussion of the electoral reform plan B from March 23 to March 24 due to technical reviews and internal PT debates on the revocation of mandate date. The PT objects to holding it in the third year of government, as it would overlap with the 2027 elections. The opposition praised the PT for criticizing the bill.
President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the mandate revocation referendum is not mandatory and can be decided until January 2027, per the Constitution. She explained that her Plan B electoral reform aims to flex the timing to the third or fourth year of government and allow the executive to speak publicly about the process.
