Without reaching full rights as a parliamentary group, the five rebel parliamentarians put an end to the precarious balance in the Senate of the Republic, where the dialogue to build the priority agenda underwent a dizzying change.
With the reincorporation of Olga Sánchez Cordero and Gabriel García to legislative functions after having held top-level positions in the Lopez Obrador team, the first shock occurred. Félix Salgado Macedonio and Juan Zepeda are also back in the Senate and both will be able to stick to the plans of the National Palace to consolidate their political projects.
The popular vote, however, did not alter the correlation of forces. The thinning of the cuatrotheístas benches is a last consequence of the constitution of the Plural Group, which had among its main affected the PT, which lost two members and had to receive a Morenista to maintain its prerogatives.
Morena was left with 61 members, just 46% of the 127 senators in the LXV federal Legislature, although in December he could add another seat, when the extraordinary election in Nayarit is resolved, which will be held by judicial mandate.
After two months of legislative work under the presidency of Sánchez Cordero, the upper house sets out to resolve the economic package, before the holiday that breaks the ordinary period of sessions in half. At the start, by superior instructions, the Cuatroetísta block concluded with the process to issue the regulatory legislation for the revocation of the mandate.
For the second tranche of his six-year term, the federal Executive announced that it would submit three constitutional reform initiatives in matters of the integrated national electricity grid, the National Guard, and accountability mechanisms for the autonomous bodies.
The priorities of the parliamentary agendas are different. According to an estimate by Danitza Morales and Cornelio Martínez for the Belisario Domínguez Institute, a good negotiation in the Political Coordination Board could lead to a successful conclusion to 86% of the seven issues that the PRI bench proposed as its priorities, last September . And it is that of these, four are compatible with Morena’s agenda and two with that of the PAN.
The proposals with the greatest possibility of consensus are those of transparency and the fight against corruption supported by the so-called containment block, which with the PVEM share the intention of updating the legislation related to the bodies that guarantee transparency and access to public information . The specialists report that Morena did not propose an initiative in this area.
Rather, the quadrotheist majority spoke out for reforms to the legal framework of the autonomous bodies, while the PRI announced that it would seek to expand the instruments of parliamentary control of the Senate and the Citizen Movement stood in their defense.
The PRI insists on a review of the powers of the National Guard and, MC, on the demilitarization of the security apparatuses, while Morena has other priorities. Among them, the legal framework of administrative responsibilities and professional career service.
The polarization generated by the energy regression and the redirection of fiscal policy have accentuated the divergences. Tomorrow, the legislature will be surrounded by opponents of the quadrotheist economic package.
Side effects
BREAKS? The balances between the Morenista groups that aspire to define the candidacy for the Tamaulipas government are precarious and the guidelines of the CEN, headed by Mario Delgado, are irrelevant. The change of state leadership left the former state delegate for federal programs, José Ramón Gómez Leal, without charge, who has become the target of attacks from a sector of the press, akin to Q4, thus the non-aggression pact between the candidates would become a dead letter. The batteries are now heading towards Senator Américo Villarreal.
PROFILED. Next Wednesday 27 there will be white smoke in the Superior Court of Justice of Mexico City and Rafael Guerra Álvarez will be ratified practically unanimously, who has the support of important cadres of the Fourth Transformation and the support of ministers such as Yasmín Esquivel Mossa and Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá.
SELF-EMPLOYED. In an extraordinary session, the plenary session of the Oaxaca Congress approved the new members of the Superior Court of Justice and the body that guarantees access to public information. The new magistrates are Berenice Ramírez Jiménez, Elizabeth Roxana López Luna, Sofía Altamirano Rueda and Juan Carlos Díaz Carranza, Alejandro Magno González Antonio, who will serve a term of eight years. And the new commissioners are Xóchitl Elizabeth Méndez Sánchez and José Luis Echeverría, for a period of three years; Claudia Ivette Soto Pineda and Josué Solana Salmorán, for four years, and María Tanivet Ramos Reyes, as commissioner for a five-year period.
