Critics say the reform, passed by the Senate at second reading on the night of Wednesday, December 14, represents a three-decade setback for Mexico’s young and fragile democracy and a return to a presidential system. supported by a hegemonic party, similar to that imposed by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for more than seventy years. They fear that the president’s attack on the operational structure of the INE will favor his party, the National Regeneration Movement (Morena, left) for the presidential elections of 2024, where the continuity of his political project will be at stake.
