After an extensive session starring dimes and diretes, the Chamber of Deputies ended up scrapping the Electric Reform promoted by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), his party, Moreno Nacional Regeneration (Morena) and allies.
Despite the attempts of the Tabasqueño to “seduce” his opponents - and thereby obtain the necessary suffrages to reach the qualified majority - the bloc detractor fulfilled his task and with 223 votes against he reversed the initiative dubbed “Bartlett Law”.
This victory was celebrated by opposition legislators and legislators who, in the same way, were recognized by the respective leaders of the Va por México alliance; as did Marko Cortés, leader of the National Action (PAN).
Through his Twitter account, the blue and white leader celebrated the fact that it was possible to stop “the whims of the president”, even with Morena's attempt to make the deputy panista and former first lady, Margarita Zavala, abstained from voting due to alleged conflict of interest.
For his part, Alejandro Alito Moreno, from the Institutional Revolutionary (PRI), also spoke on the same platform and applauded the work of the opposition deputies, especially members of the tricolor ranks.
“We show that the defense of our country will always be the great cause that unites us. This is the first of many victories that we will build together!” , tweeted a few hours before Cortes.
It should be recalled that the bench was the last in the alliance to set its refusal towards Andrés Manuel's project. Which is why he was the main target of his exhorts to “rebel” by ensuring that joining the PAN “would leave him with nothing.”
Meanwhile, Jesús Zambrano, leader of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), stressed that the resolution meant not only a defeat for the President of the Republic, but also an instruction to the Juntos Haremos Historia group (Morena, Green Ecological Party (PVEM) and Labour Party (PT)) to “listen to our proposal”.
In the same vein, he recalled that the citizens themselves were “the ones who gave confidence to the alliance” with which, he said, allowed the bill to be stopped: “That is why the ruling coalition does not have the majority to modify the General Constitution of the Republic at the whim of the president,” he said in a video on Twitter.
After the reversal of the San Lazaro plenary session to the Electricity Reform, López Obrador will present an initiative to reform the Mining Law to modify and add various precepts of such so as to protect lithium and other minerals that are strategic and necessary for energy transition, technological innovation and national development.
As this is not a constitutional reform, it will only be necessary for Morena and her allies to achieve a simple majority (half plus one vote), which they have without having to go to the benches of other parties.
