### Coparmex Tijuana Urges Legislators to Vote Consciously on Plan C, Not in Bloc
In the face of potential reform approvals aimed at dissolving autonomous bodies and enacting changes in the Judicial Branch, Roberto Vega Solís, the president of Coparmex Tijuana, strongly encourages new legislators in the Union Congress to vote “consciously” rather than in a bloc.
During Coparmex Tijuana’s monthly meeting, Vega Solís emphasized the critical role of autonomous bodies in ensuring impartial, lawful decisions free from political pressures. “September will undoubtedly be a month of significant legislative activity for the country, as there are plans to approve fast-track reforms like the dissolution of autonomous bodies, which could lead to instability,” he stated.
The concern is heightened by the current majority held by the ruling party Morena, in alliance with the Green Party (PVEM) and the Labor Party (PT). They command a supermajority in the Chamber of Deputies with 78% representation, and in the Senate, they hold 64%—needing only three more votes to pass the initiatives aimed at dissolving autonomous bodies and reforming the Judicial Branch.
Vega Solís warned that these reforms could adversely affect economic competition and undermine fundamental democratic principles. Specifically, dismantling these institutions would eliminate essential checks and balances for governmental accountability and citizens’ right to transparency.
He stressed the importance of autonomous bodies like the Bank of Mexico, which can make decisions in the country’s favor without party bias. The foundations for democracy were established 24 years ago with the first presidential alternation after 70 years of one-party rule. “We cannot revert to past injustices,” Vega Solís declared.
In regard to Judicial Branch reform, Vega Solís called for a thorough, consensual analysis that considers expert opinions since this branch safeguards human rights and Mexico’s independence.
