Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum pushes forward with her electoral reform proposal

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is moving ahead with a proposal for electoral reform. She plans to present it to the Chamber of Deputies this week, stating she will proceed with or without the full support of her political allies.

She has confirmed agreements with two allied parties, the PT and the PVEM, to support the initiative. Some headlines suggest the proposal is intended to block organized crime from funding political parties. Sheinbaum has also dismissed the need for a cabinet reshuffle and rejected a candidate for a state governorship.
