Manuel Velasco Coello, the coordinator of the Green Party (PVEM) in Mexico, has commented on the ongoing work regarding electoral reform during discussions with Pablo Gómez, who is heading the Presidential Commission for the reform. He highlighted that the progress has been slow and compared it to the steps taken by alcoholics in their recovery, emphasizing the need to take it one day at a time. Velasco indicated an optimism that the proposals discussed in various working tables would be integrated into the reform.

He mentioned that they are awaiting the arrival of the electoral reform proposal expected on Monday and expressed his hope that the contributions made by the PVEM in collaboration with members from the Interior Ministry and other parties would be recognized. Velasco’s remarks also reinforced the idea that the party remains committed to maintaining the legislative coalition formed with Morena and the Labor Party since September 2024, indicating a long-term strategic approach to political partnerships in the wake of these discussions.

Furthermore, the legislation surrounding electoral reform is highly significant in the Mexican political landscape, as it has implications for governance and electoral processes. Velasco's acknowledgment of the gradual nature of these negotiations reflects a careful balancing act in which the PVEM must navigate its coalition's dynamics while advocating for its interests. As stakeholders wait for the final reform proposal, the leadership of the PVEM signals a willingness to remain engaged and patient, despite the challenges ahead.
