He blocking to the remodeling constitutional that reduces the work day from 48 to 40 hours a week did not come from any parliamentary group or deputy, but from the president Andrés Manuel López Obradorsaid federal representative Susana Prieto.
The legislator, who presented the initiative and resigned from the Morena bench due to the lack of support for it to be discussed and voted on in the Plenary Session of San Lázaro, considered that this decision by the president is a big mistake and will have its political costs.

“The President of the Republic blocked it, I think he was wrong, all human beings make mistakes, I think what the President of the Republic did by blocking this initiative was something very serious.
“There is a strong campaign on social networks of “no votes for Morena for not having passed the 40 hours”; There will be a political cost that I believe they will regret not having voted for it because it is a great need for the working class of this country,” said the legislator.
He asserted that it was evident that from López Obrador’s morning calls, “the readings” were given so that the reform that gave one more day of rest a week to Mexican workers would be stopped, “it was not any parliamentary group, any deputy, “They are not so important, the President of the Republic stopped it.”
He added that together with university students, a large call will begin for students and workers of the country to gather in the Chamber of Deputies on September 1 to demonstrate with the start of the LXVI legislature.

With this, Prieto added, they seek that the new legislators assume the commitment to promote this opinion, which has already been approved in committees, but was left on a waiting list to go up to the Plenary Session, be discussed and voted on.
“The students of the UAM and myself are going to begin to call with videos, with actions, to all the students and workers of the country to gather here in the Chamber of Deputies on the outskirts on September 1, when the LXVI Legislature begins to acquire the commitment of the new federal deputies to promote it, but above all, so that they do not throw it into the garbage dump of history,” he expressed.
Also, he said, they will remind whoever wins the race for the Presidency of the Republic, that “they are not going to take their finger off the line until this ruling becomes a reality, because it is a demand of the people of Mexico.”
