Debate on Reform Begins Tuesday Víctor Mayen - The News go to original March 01, 2010
Mexico City – On Tuesday, the State’s Reform Commission, the Senate’s Constitutional Commission and the Legislative Studies Commission will initiate the writing process of the official report on the government’s Reform.
These joint commissions will first be in charge of identifying the common grounds and discrepancies between the different projects introduced by the Executive power, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the Democratic Revolutionary Pary (PRD), the Convergence Party, the Labor Party and civil organizations.
“We are going to focus on the discrepancies,” the president of the Senate and coordinator of the PRD, Carlos Navarrete, said last week. “We will open a discussion within the three commissions on the divergences we will come across. I can assure you that we will have a report ready for your approbation by the end of March,” Navarrete added.
Manlio Fabio Beltrones, coordinator of the PRI, stated that it is not time to engage in more discussions; “it is time to fullfil our responsibility to reform the government,” Beltrones said.
Beltrones explained that the presentation of the different projects for the Political Reform has already launched the legal analysis process that will eventually create a new institutional framework, ensuring the efficiency of the government in public security, employment, education and social development, while paving the way for a fair economic growth.
Beltrones said his parliamentary group had proposed a reform to modernize the presidential regime that is based on changes in the three branches of the government, and seeks to expand civil participation and representation.
