Claudia Sheinbaum, the current President of Mexico, addressed concerns regarding her upcoming electoral reform and denied allegations that it aims to establish a single state party. Critics have expressed worries about the way the Senate and Chamber of Deputies would be composed under the proposed changes. Sheinbaum emphasized that the initiative will not eliminate proportional representation positions, commonly referred to as 'pluris', but will modify the mechanism for determining these roles.

Under the current system, political parties compile a list of candidates they desire as pluris. However, the new proposal will shift the process so that citizens will have a vote in choosing who occupies those positions, contingent upon parties achieving a certain percentage of votes by electoral district. Sheinbaum clarified that concerns suggesting a move towards a state party and the end of proportional representation are unfounded.

By tweaking the electoral framework, Sheinbaum aims to enhance democratic participation and mitigate claims of a monopolistic political structure. These reforms hold the potential to reshape political dynamics in Mexico, allowing for a more citizen-influenced representation in legislative bodies, while also addressing public apprehensions regarding the independence and plurality of the country's political landscape.
