Morena defends TEPJF ruling on qualified majority of the 4T

The Morena parliamentary group supported the TEPJF's ruling that granted a qualified majority to the ruling coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, asserting its constitutional validity.

The parliamentary group of Morena in Mexico's Chamber of Deputies has backed the ruling by the Federal Electoral Tribunal (TEPJF) that confirmed a qualified majority for the ruling coalition, known as the 4T (Fourth Transformation). The defense was articulated during the presentation of a book discussing the assignment of deputies in the upcoming 2024 elections, overseen by Judge Felipe de la Mata. Ricardo Monreal, the coordinator of the Morena faction, emphasized that the tribunal's decision was constitutionally sound and critical for the stability and legal certainty in the country.

Monreal asserted that the tribunal's ruling was a straightforward application of the Constitution, resisting any undue political pressure or factional interests that might seek to challenge the legal framework. He pointed out that Article 54 of the Constitution explicitly limits the over-representation of political parties, which highlights the careful balance intended by the law to prevent disproportionate influence in legislative processes. This ruling, therefore, not only empowers the ruling coalition but also reinforces the rule of law in Mexico.

The implications of this decision could be significant as it could shape the political landscape ahead of the 2024 elections. With the ruling coalition securing a qualified majority, Morena is positioned to push forward its legislative agenda more effectively, impacting policies ranging from social programs to electoral reform. As the political environment in Mexico remains contentious, this ruling could also provoke further disputes among various political factions, as they strategize for the upcoming electoral cycle.
