Mexicali, July 27. Members of the State Congress's Committee on Government, Legislation, and Constitutional Affairs approved a proposed reform to the Baja California Constitution that prohibits those convicted of abusing others from registering for elected office, holding a job, position, or commission in public service.
He specified that this category includes "any person who has a final conviction for crimes against life and bodily integrity; sexual freedom and safety; normal psychosexual development; domestic or family violence; violation of sexual privacy; political violence against women based on gender, or who declares them to be in arrears of alimony."
The initiative, presented separately by Representative Juan Manuel Molina García and legislators Evelyn Sánchez Sánchez, Liliana Michel Sánchez Allende, Daylín García Ruvalcaba, and Montserrat Rodríguez Lorenzo, proposes amending Articles 18, 42, and 80 of the Baja California Constitution "to establish that they cannot be elected to the positions of Representative, the governorship, or to municipal councils," Congress reported in a press release.
Since the proposal and legislative vision coincided, the bill was analyzed and approved in a single project, resulting in Opinion 91 of the Committee on Government, Legislation, and Constitutional Affairs.
The bulletin stated that on May 29, the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) published the Decree amending Articles 38 and 102 of the National Constitution, which contemplates the suspension of the right to seek or hold elected office, as well as a job, position, or commission in the public service (the "3 of 3 against violence" reform).
