Michoacan .- President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will soon send three proposals for constitutional reforms to the Congress of the Union, he said in his most recent meeting with businessmen.
1. Electrical reform
A reform that will seek to strengthen the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), so that domestic users do not pay more for electricity service than large corporations.
“I didn’t want to come up with a constitutional reform of the electricity industry. The law was not yet published and the amparos began to be approved by the judges, so what do we have left? Present a constitutional reform in electrical matters,” he said.
2. Electoral reform
The president considered that it is necessary for there to be real independence in the electoral processes so that “conservatism does not dominate,” so it is necessary that those who coordinate the elections are “true democrats.”
It would seek to reduce the costs of electoral processes, since López Obrador considered that in Mexico the most expensive elections in the world are held.
“Another question: why so many MPs? Why are the majority not just left, why are the 200 plurinomnals not removed? But this is not only in the Chamber of Deputies, but also in the Senate. We are going to reform the law, the Constitution, so that there is full democracy,” he explained.
3. National Guard
President López Obrador said he would not want the National Guard to be moved to any institution and ‘spoiled.’
“That is why I am going to propose in due course that he be part of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena),” he said.
