Morena, the ruling party in Mexico, has conveyed that it needs additional time to reach a consensus regarding the proposed electoral reform suggested by President Claudia Sheinbaum. Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, the vice-coordinator of the party in the Chamber of Deputies, emphasized the need to persuade all party members to achieve the necessary supermajority for constitutional reform. This reform aims to reduce the financial burden of political campaigns and everyday expenses for parties, addressing the issue of high campaign costs.

Ramírez Cuéllar mentioned that there is still uncertainty about the specific project that Sheinbaum will present, indicating that while discussions regarding proportional representation deputies and the reduction of party financing are ongoing, there is no rift between Morena and its allies, the Labor Party (PT) and the Green Party (PVEM). He added that the differing opinions on these matters do not signify a split but are simply different perspectives that need to be reconciled for a collective decision.

The call for patience in the deliberation process reflects the complexities involved in Mexican political negotiations, especially concerning financial regulations and electoral practices. As the March deadline approaches, the emphasis will likely be on collaboratively working towards an agreement that aligns with the party's reform goals while maintaining unity among allies. This situation underscores the challenges and intricacies of achieving broad consensus in a politically diverse environment like Mexico’s.
