Mexico's ruling bloc confirmed supermajority in house, just short in Senate
MEXICO CITY -Mexico's electoral authority on Friday confirmed that ruling party Morena and its allies will hold a two-thirds supermajority in the lower house but fall just short of a supermajority in the Senate when the new legislative term begins in September.
"The decision of INE's general council respects the will of the people," Morena party leader Mario Delgado said on X, pledging to continue the so-called Fourth Transformation political project launched under the current president. "The INE neither gives nor takes away congressional or senatorial seats," INE's presiding counselor Guadalupe Taddei said during the marathon seven-hour debate."Only the citizens can do this with their vote."
These include a controversial reform of the judiciary that would allow judges and magistrates to be elected by popular vote, a move that has rattled markets.
