'Morena figures should not speculate on the reform': Guillermo Rafael Santiago
Guillermo Rafael Santiago, a representative of Morena, urges party figures to avoid speculation regarding electoral reform discussions surrounding plurinominal seats.
Guillermo Rafael Santiago Rodríguez, the representative of Morena at the National Electoral Institute (INE), has emphasized the importance of prudence among party figures when discussing the electoral reform concerning plurinominal seats. In a recent interview with El Financiero, he criticized speculative comments and urged party members to respect the timelines and negotiations happening within the Secretary of Governance. Santiago asserted that without concrete proposals on the table, the discourse remains unproductive and could lead to misunderstandings among members of the party.
Santiago acknowledged that changes to the electoral reform are indeed forthcoming but stressed that discussions should wait until the official initiative is presented. He recommended that debating potential reforms based on hypothetical scenarios is not constructive and may detract from the realities of the negotiation process. It is important for party members to base their comments on verifiable facts to avoid falling into a cycle of speculation and rumor.
In his remarks, the Morena representative called for a unified and fact-based approach to discussing the changes, encouraging a focus on achieving greater representativity in the electoral system. The implications of the upcoming reforms are significant as they aim to reshape how electoral candidates are selected, thereby impacting the political landscape in Mexico. Santiago's insistence on restraint among party members reflects a broader need for clarity and unity within the Morena party as they navigate the complexities of electoral reform discussions.
