Mexico City.– The coordinator of the Morena deputies, Ignacio Mier, pointed out that the reform to reduce working hours will no longer be discussed in the current regular session.
Yesterday, committees approved an opinion to reform article 123 of the Constitution, to establish that there will be two rest days a week, instead of one, with which only 40 hours a week would be worked.
Out of his priorities, Mier indicated that he would no longer give time, despite the fact that the period ends on April 30.
“No, no constitutional reform. Why? Because we don’t have time anymore.
“And in addition to the fact that it does not give us time to schedule it, it has to be built around the opinion, as a constitutional reform, two thirds. And that requires a consensus in the drafting of the opinion,” said the legislator at the end of the marathon session of the 24-hour plenary session, in which Morena imposed the urgent reforms on the federal government and for which he used his simple majority.
He stressed that the Political Coordination Board would see the issue.
The Movimiento Ciudadano bench denounced that the reform has been stopped by Morena.
“And the only reform that was going to benefit Mexicans is now being stopped.
“Morena wants to reverse the reduction in working hours and close the period without a vote on this reform, which would directly benefit 30 million workers.
“The fight continues,” posted the coordinator of MC, Jorge Álvarez Máynez, on social networks
