Luisa María Alcalde, the national president of the political party Morena in Mexico, publicly rejected claims that the upcoming electoral reform proposal will maintain the current structure of plurinominal legislators in Congress. In a social media statement, she emphasized that the party does not plan to keep the existing plurinominal system and advocates for significant budget cuts for political parties. This statement comes in the wake of comments made by Ricardo Monreal, the coordinator of the Morena deputies, who claimed the issue was resolved and that the numbers would remain unchanged according to the Constitution.

Following Monreal's comments made during a gathering in Querétaro, where he suggested the legislative composition would remain the same with 300 majority legislators and 200 plurinominals, Alcalde's rebuttal highlights the ongoing debates within the party and the need for clarity on the reform's direction. Monreal later clarified that his statements were purely illustrative and acknowledged that the discussions around the reform are ongoing and not yet finalized.

The situation reflects the internal dynamics of the Morena party and the complexities of electoral reform in Mexico. With the potential for budget reductions for political party financing on the table, this could significantly impact the financing structures and electoral strategies ahead of future elections. As reform discussions continue, the position of key figures like Alcalde and Monreal will be crucial in shaping how the party navigates these changes.
