Mexico City . With the votes of Morena and its allies, the constitutional reform that simplifies the organizational structure of the Mexican state was approved in committee by eliminating seven autonomous bodies, including the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Protection of Personal Data (INAI).
This reform to 14 articles of the Constitution was approved by the Constitutional Affairs and Legislative Studies Committees with 25 votes in favor and 11 against. It was sent to the Senate's governing board, where it is expected to be approved tomorrow in the plenary session.
The opposition protested the reform, arguing that it represents a setback, eliminating "democratic checks and balances," but Morena legislators refuted this. The vice-coordinator of the Morena group, Ignacio Mier, emphasized that with this reform, "there will never again be organizations that serve particular, factional interests, at the expense of the Mexican people's budget, and often in favor of foreign interests."
It will be dismantled, yes, "we clearly say it, an entire simulated framework benefiting economic interests and the oligarchy, which are the most powerful national and foreign families, who seized 80 percent of the national heritage and caused the most scandalous poverty this continent has seen in just 30 years," the Morena member emphasized.
