Overview
- Sheinbaum presented her constitutional proposal at the morning briefing and said the finalized text will be sent to Congress on Monday, but PVEM and PT have not endorsed key points, putting the two‑thirds majority at risk.
- The government projects about a 25% cut to overall election costs—roughly 12 billion pesos—and a reduction in public financing for political parties.
- Representation changes include eliminating plurinominal seats in the Senate and reconfiguring the 200 proportional deputies with defined allocation formulas, while the INE would rely on temporary organs and the PREP would be scrapped for same‑night official counts.
- The package adds measures to block organized‑crime financing of campaigns, mandates disclosure of AI‑generated content and curbs on bots, and contemplates electronic voting for participatory mechanisms.
- Separately, officials confirmed the operation that located and killed CJNG leader “El Mencho,” acknowledged security‑force casualties and cited U.S. intelligence support, and in Argentina Judge Carlos Mahiques resigned a temporary Casación seat in a probe over a high‑value Pilar estate linked to AFA associates.
