«The project to reform, supplement and repeal of various provisions of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, related to the simplification of public functions, was approved in general with 347 votes in favor, 128 against and 0 abstentions,» the Chamber of Deputies said on X. The draft reform points to the need for administrative reorganization in accordance with the principles of rationality and austerity. With the adoption of the reform, the functions of the autonomous state agencies will mainly be transferred to federal government bodies. The lawmakers also plan to discuss the creation of a new decentralized body that would have the power to control economic competition and monopolies. The reform aims to eliminate seven autonomous state agencies, including the National Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE), the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT), the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL), the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE), the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) and the National Commission on Excellence in Education. Former Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador presented the reform initiative in February 2024.
