AMLO: Challenges against Plan B of the Electoral Reform example of a true Rule of Law

After the approval of the Plan B of the Electoral Reform yesterday in the Senate of the Republic, the president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador assured that the challenges are part of a “democratic political normality” and “a true Rule of Law” in Mexico.

“Whenever initiatives are approved in the Legislative Branch or that there are reforms and that are challenged, the Judiciary is resorted to, through resources, because all of this is part of the democratic political normality, of a true Rule of Law.”

At an express question, the federal president affirmed that unlike past administrations, today is not like before, that “it respected the Constitution in form, but it violated in substance”.

“This reform has already been approved in the Senate, it is going to be published and then, as it is announcing, they are going to present a controversy so that the law is declared unconstitutional, that corresponds to the Judiciary. There is nothing that is extra legal, that is what should always prevail, which did not exist, because before, I have always been saying it, the constitution was respected in form but it was violated in essence, from Porfirio Díaz to the six-year term past”.
