Mexican Senate executive committees meet this weekend to debate the most controversial decisions of the energy reform vote slated for next week.
The fourth part of seven pieces of legislation was approved Friday, to be voted on Tuesday by the plenary session of the Senate, to decide the future of the state-run oil company PEMEX.
President of the legislature Gustavo Madero stated that reform deliberations have entered their final stage.
Madero, also representative of the governmental Partido Accion Nacional, said that the aim is to reach a unified proposal, to seek accord in the coming hours among the different parliamentary groups.
On the sidelines former presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for members of the National Movement in Defense of Oil for peaceful civil resistance if the denationalization of PEMEX is approved. |
