PAN Legal Battle on Congress Bias

PAN’s Lizbeth Mata Lozano stresses urgency in resolving the legal challenge against overrepresentation in Congress for fair and constitutional governance before the new legislative session.

### Primary Article: Unresolved PAN Legal Challenge Against Overrepresentation in Congress

The legal challenge presented by the National Action Party (PAN), along with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), against the issue of overrepresentation in Congress remains unresolved. This was confirmed by PAN Federal Deputy Lizbeth Mata Lozano. According to Mata Lozano, the resolution of this legal challenge is crucial to ensure proper compliance before the upcoming legislative session begins on August 29.

“The solution lies in this legal challenge, and it must be resolved before the start of the next legislature so that newly elected representatives can take their oaths. Historically, these resolutions often come through just before the last deadline,” said Mata Lozano.

At a recent press conference alongside municipal leader Christopher Domínguez and Tijuana’s city councilor Sandra Magaña, Mata Lozano highlighted that the public, as well as political parties, have demanded adherence to the constitution to address overrepresentation.

She emphasized the importance of achieving political balance and democracy, noting the ongoing concern over potential discrepancies in the legislative process. “We are about three senators short of gaining approval in the Senate once this initiative is passed by the House of Deputies,” Mata Lozano stated, referring to a proposed reform of the judiciary.

The PAN is focused on ensuring that constitutional principles are upheld to prevent overrepresentation in Congress. “It is now in the hands of those who will vote on this issue. We hope for fairness and democracy in line with what the citizens have voted for,” she concluded.
