In this regard, this morning President Andrés Manuel López Obrador invited the opposition to go to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
“They have every right to go to court in the event that it is approved in the Senate and in the Chamber of Deputies., a controversy can be requested with the allegation that it is unconstitutional and it is the ministers of the Court who are going to resolve, the truth is that it is pure politicking, because since there is no constitutional reform, the electoral law cannot go against what the Constitution establishes is the law of laws, so the law that we sent on electoral reform has all these limitations, it is not possible, which was the most important thing, to reduce the number of legislators, from 500 to 300; You cannot remove the multi-member representatives and that all the representatives be authentic representatives of the people, that the people elect them, not that they go on a list because they are people close to the party leaders, that cannot be done, it has already remained that way.
“Also the decrease in the budget, since there was no constitutional reform, does not touch the parties, which will continue to receive a lot of money,” he added.
