Morena, the majority party in the Mexico City Congress, is set to implement a 10-point plan aimed at boosting legislative productivity and ensuring effective governance. Starting September 1, under the presidency of the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo), the party will prioritize "permanent dialogue with all parliamentary forces," "unrestricted respect for the Congress's plurality," and "building consensus over confrontation."
The initiative also stresses "legislative productivity" with an agenda that favors the public interest, alongside "respect for the Board of Directors and commissions," and "transparency in conducting parliamentary work." Furthermore, it calls for "openness to dialogue with social organizations, academia, and productive sectors" and "democratic governability," defined as the capacity to process differences through agreement, not paralysis.
This city needs a Congress that builds agreements and not one that builds conflicts. We have done that from day one and will continue to do so until the end of the Legislature.
Xรณchitl Bravo, Morena's coordinator, stated that the Congress "needs to be up to the task of what the city's people need." She emphasized the party's commitment to building agreements and avoiding conflicts, a stance they have maintained since the legislature began. Bravo also noted efforts to advance the deliberation of various initiatives during the upcoming ordinary period, aligning with the priorities of the parties represented in Congress.
Despite holding an absolute majority, Bravo asserted that Morena will continue to prioritize dialogue and collective construction. However, she warned, "For no reason, nor under any circumstance, will we give in to political blackmail." The party aims to build majorities, generate consensus, and strengthen parliamentary life to guarantee the institutional functioning of the Congress and achieve agreements beneficial to the capital and its population.
Despite being an absolute majority in the Congress of the City, we are going to continue prioritizing dialogue; always building collectively. But, for no reason, nor under any circumstance, will we give in to political blackmail.
