Las constitutional reforms that the president sent Andrés Manuel López Obrador last February 5 were not blocked by the opposition in the Chamber of Deputiesstated the coordinator of National Action, Jorge Romero.

On the other hand, he said at a press conference, it is very noticeable when the legislative majority of Morena, the Labor Party (PT) and Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM) when “I wanted to put the accelerator on something”.

Don’t think that in this case it was the opposition that blocked (…) I have been saying it, it is very noticeable when this majority wanted to put the accelerator on something and accelerated it, because there are Afores, there is Amparo and there is Amnesty.

“When the 4T wants to accelerate you, it accelerates you. In this we said it from the beginning, we did not notice any desire to legislate it. How it is read, it is a matter for analysts that the majority did not want to put the accelerator on the last thing that the President ordered, each one gives it their own reading,” said the also president of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) in San Lázaro.

Regarding the possibility that the initiatives sent by the president be ruled on in commissions to prevent them from being discarded, the vice coordinator of the PAN, Elijah Westcommented that this will be a matter of how each person manages their time.

However, he considered that if in three months no ruling was made and this Tuesday, when the last matter could be uploaded, it was not done, “Well, I believe that you don’t need to look too far into the future to know what the fate of presidential initiatives will be: discarded”.

For his part, the president of the Constitutional Points Commission, Juan Ramiro Robledo (Morena), did not rule out the possibility of calling for an extraordinary period to rule on presidential initiatives.

“The files arrived, and together we made draft opinions that are currently serving as working documents so that the work we did is known. And yes, the possibility of having an extraordinary period is not dead, I don’t know who said it, because there is always the possibility of an extraordinary period existing. That doesn’t have to be canceled beforehand. After the elections, who knows what things will happen,” she commented.

He added that he is waiting for the Jucopo to integrate conclusions and formulate possibilities for consensus agreements on certain matters of constitutional reform and this will allow them to convene a working session of the commission.
