With the qualified majority of Morena and its allies, the Senate last night approved in general and in particular the constitutional reform that returns to Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) their character as public companies and returns to the State Mexican control of its strategic resources.
The vote was 86 votes in favor, 39 against and one abstention, the latter from Amalia García Medina, from MC.
The president of the Constitutional Points Commission, Óscar Cantón Zetina, highlighted that the objective of this reform is reverse a historical error
which constituted Enrique Peña Nieto’s energy reform, which opened the door to the privatization of oil and electricity.
The modification to articles 25, 27 and 28 of the constitution, proposed last February by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, he added, returns energy sovereignty to the country, since it establishes that electricity, hydrocarbons, lithium and the Internet do not They will be more subject to speculation and hoarding by private interests. They will be as they should always be: goods and natural resources at the service of national development
he added.
The president of the Legislative Studies Commission, Enrique Inzunza, explained that a fundamental part of the reform is that the CFE will have priority over private companies in the sector, so that it can fulfill its social function and maintain affordable rates.
This, he explained, in order to reverse the neoliberal model with which the national electrical system still operates, in which economic growth is prioritized and private companies are favored, which are only interested in profit and profits.
.
The discussion of the opinion began around 5 pm yesterday, it was generally approved after 11 pm and shortly after midnight it was approved in particular.
The PRI and PAN legislators insisted that the reform violates the T-MEC, scares away private investment and when Pemex and CFE go from productive state companies to public companies, their large debts will also be made public, while the use of polluting energy continues. .
In response, Morena legislators noted that what the opposition defends is business dirty
with clean energies.
The senator of the guinda party Judith Díaz recalled the bribes of 120 million pesos to the legislators of the Prian who approved Peña Nieto’s energy reform.
