Geovanna Bañuelos, the vice-coordinator of the Labor Party (PT) in the Mexican Senate, has firmly denied reports that her party and the Green Party (PVEM) walked out of the negotiations concerning the electoral reform. She asserted that both parties are committed to the discussions, with plans to resume their meetings on Tuesday, February 9, at 1 PM. In her remarks, Bañuelos emphasized that there is a continuous working table in place, contradicting any claims of a disruption in the negotiations.

Despite Bañuelos' assertions, there are reports from sources close to the negotiations indicating that leaders from both the PVEM and PT left the discussions in a state of discontent following a rejection of their proposal by the Morena president, Luisa María Alcalde. The proposal sought to maintain the number of plurinominal representatives in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, which became a flashpoint in the negotiations. This backdrop adds complexity to the ongoing discussions, highlighting tensions between party leaders involved.

As the situation unfolds, the implications of this negotiation tension could affect the broader electoral reform process in Mexico, a topic of significant political interest. As parties grapple with internal disagreements and external pressures, the outcome of these negotiations will be critical in shaping the future electoral landscape in the country.
