When asked about the lack of consensus even within Morena. López Hernández, highlighted that like any Initiative it has to be discussed; “First it is discussed within the parliamentary groups, then it goes to Commissions, it is discussed in Commissions; If it is approved, then it goes to plenary and there it is discussed and approved or not”.
He also announced that it will be the legislators themselves who will have to decide when they can go to plenary session and approve or reject it.
