Breathe

When every citizen goes out to vote, he or she is expressing his or her political will based on the democratic rules supported by our Constitution, which is the highest standard in the democratic life of our country. We are a constitutional democracy and, before the law, each one of us is equal.
Last Sunday, February 26, 2023, hundreds of thousands of people came out to express our disagreement with the reforms to the electoral laws promoted by the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador throughout the country. Reforms approved by the legislative majorities without sufficient parliamentary discussion, and contained in what is known as the plan B. Its name comes from the fact that the president's plan A was to modify the Constitution and thereby reduce the capacities of our electoral bodies and eliminate their independence and autonomy from the government.
